Another bad problem from Microsoft regarding printers, there have been enough of these in recent years.
Specifically affects USB printers on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems.
This is now generating a huge number of support tickets.
All possible solutions have been tried, but they have not solved the problem.
The only thing that works is removing the latest Windows update, which eliminated the problem on both operating systems.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update.
This weakens the security of workstations when you cannot proceed with the latest update.
In our case, this affects thousands of printers.
