Windows 10S Brother printer DCP-195C will not work

My last update was KB4561608 14.06.2020.  I've uninstalled it and the printer now works again !

I've been on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4561608/windows-10-update-kb4561608

and found:

After installing this update, certain printers might fail to print. The print spooler might throw an error or close unexpectedly when attempting to print, and no output will come from the affected printer.

You might also encounter issues with the apps you are attempting to print from. You might receive an error from the app or the app might close unexpectedly.

Note This issue might also affect software-based printers, for example printing to PDF.

Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update when more information is available.

I'm not holding my breath!!!

I did the full uninstall/reinstall full Brother package shown below and still no printer action. Also, I do not see the KB4561608 update in my update history. The latest one is KB4561600 for some Security update to Adobe flash.

I guess I'll uninstall that one and see what happens.

Hi Jonathan,

I was in the same frustrating position as you with this situation! I  too got an error message when i tried to uninstall this update.

in the end i did a system restore to the point just before the update was installed.  It worked!!!!!  My Brother printer worked again.

so i then went into Settings and paused any future updates until july in the hope it may be fixed by then.

does this help you?  Like many, i wasted a whole day trying to sort this without any luck until i did the restore point.

good luck

jill

Should also have mentioned that the reason i ‘paused’ future updates was because when i switched off computer the windows update was automatically re-installed again!!!

Jill, 

Good tip to keep updates from creeping back in.

I did a restore to an earlier time and still not printer action.  I'm out of options.
