I have a Brother DCP-195C printer. The printer is a little old but it is supposed to have a windows 10 driver. 

It was working fine until you released the latest feature update 2004.. 

Now the printer says error with driver. Installing from brother the driver..it shows as online but never prints anythng. 

Tried everything. 

It is 100% because of your update. Tried all sorts of methods and different drivers ! (from brother or win update..)

A. Tried in another pc with 2004 update. Not working.

B. Tried in another pc with 1903 ...WOrking fine

C. Reseted the PC that doesnt work.. and even tried fresh install through media creation tool. NOT WORKING in 2004

D. In the same PC.. fresh installed 1903. WORKING

As always this is our worse nightmare with the updates.. 

Please fix it!

    It looks like Microsoft won't release a fix for this problem on the main release channel where all the updates are coming from. The fix is known for some time, but it is not available on the release channel for some reason. I guess that fixing the problem makes Windows a bit less secure, than without that fix. At least that's my guess...

    If you have a problem with your printer you can try to solve it by installing a patch from Microsoft manually.

    First read about the patch here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4567523/windows-10-update-kb4567523

    And then you can download the patch and install it manually (choose the correct version of your Windows):

    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4567523

    The above solution has worked for my Brother printer.

    I have downloaded the correct version msu, but when I go to install it, I get the message 'The update is not applicable to your computer' 

    I have tried with all the versions to be on the safe side but it keeps saying the same thing.

    P.S. I removed KB4560960 but that did NOT solve the problem for my Brother printer.

    The latest W10 updates (16 July) have solved the problem with my Brother DCP-385C.

    I can confirm the latest updates work fine on Brother machines so reinstall by switching on auto update.

    Ending thread as all fixed, thanks to those working hard at MS

    Great news! Yesterday (16-July-2020) I installed the latest two updates from Microsoft. Immediately afterwards I turned on my Brother DCP-385C printer. It's now printing perfectly after weeks without it functioning.

    I could not agree more.  I have been working on this for days and I have not yet found a fix for my particular version of Windows and my Brother MFC-440CN that has worked flawlessly since 2007.  If you have found a solution please let me know at ******@gmail.com.
