If it happens again I'll try that.

Unfortunately, my printer is wifi only.

Mike, very sorry to learn of your great challenges.  I don't know anything about the Brother MFC790CW.  But if it is connected to your computer via the USB, would the post I made a few minutes before yours help fix it?

This is a bummer.

I kan only speak for myself (71) but it took two tries and it worked, but many KB's have been mentioned, I did not have 4560960

And I did have KB4497165 and this one rest all back to 'normal' with the result that I could print again

Maybe try and start your system in Safe Mode with Networking support and try again

If possible log in as administrator or give your own user account the highest privileges

HAppy hunting and hope you can get it solved.

We're here al 'victims' of Microsoft's updates ;(

Sorry, but this fix didn't work for me, either. Ran the  wusa /uninstall /KB:4560960 command in the DOS box. After restarting, printer (a Brother MFC790CW) still won't work, AND when I look at the Windows updates list in Settings the damned KB:4560960 update is still there!

I'm a 75 year old Vietnam veteran with a bum heart and they told me last year I've now got cancer in both lungs. I can't afford a new printer just now because there are other things I have to pay for!
