My elderly DCP195C has been working fine with my Windows 10S until today, Thu 11 June 2020.  Windows did a large update yesterday or day before.  Now the printer will not work  }:-(   Tried looking at settings but nothing seems to solve the problem.  Anyone any suggestions please?

    Wel,, MS did it again, all updates were off but ... this morning it updated anyway and ... printing stopped

    The list op KB's

    KB-ID When What

    KB4552925 11/06 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 2004 for x64(KB4552925)

    KB4560960 ??/?? Not present

    KB4557957 16/06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 2004 for x64-based Systems (KB4557957)

    I uninstalled KB4557957 again and it's back to normal (for as long as it lasts) and I now really turned off all updates

    Current OS status

    Windows 10 Pro

    Version 2004

    Installed on 11/06/2020

    OS build 19041.1

    And it prints again, still no sound but that's the lessr of my worries

    Unfortunately, my printer is wifi only.

    Jack,

    If you haven't tried it already, why not switch off the computer and then power up the printer with its wi-fi live (however that works!) then switch the computer on?

    The WiFi printer is always “live” anytime it is powered on, which is constantly. 

    throughout these processes, i have powered off amd restarted the computer many time with the printer “live”. 

    thanks for trying.

    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?
