Windows 10: Windows Update Will Not Download Optional Update for My Canon Printer

My Windows Update always downloads an optional download for my Printer, Canon Printer 8/24/2018 2.90.2.10. Normally I would not be too upset about this. My Windows Update Troubleshooter started reporting some sort of problem, and my computer would not download The October Updates. I did a clean reinstall, which fixed The Windows Update Troubleshooter's report of a problem and my October Updates are installed. Windows Update always downloads the update, then reports I'm up to date. The Canon Printer downloads every time I update manually. I tried re-installing my Canon printer drivers, but that didn't address the problem.

Canon - Printers - Canon MG5500 series Printer - Error 0x80240017

GaryRouth's suggestion didn't work for me. But I took his lead and used a slightly different process that eventually worked.

I uninstalled the Canon software in "Programs and Features",

rebooted my machine,

then went to Canon's site and downloaded the full package from Canon for my printer,

extracted the package,

went to the extracted files and opened the DrvSetup folder,

ran the DELDRV64.exe utility to cleanup the old software,

then ran the Setup64.exe to install the Canon software.

Since I've followed these steps, the printer works and the Windows Update for the printer isn't showing up.

Canon printer software update failure

Hi Divya, your suggestion didn't work - troubleshooting with wired connection.

I Removed the printer from the Settings > Devices & Printers list, re-installed 2 Canon drivers as required, and the update problem persisted.

Since then I have run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab, which found an error 'Service Registration is missing or corrupt' which was fixed. That was yesterday. I have just run it again, which produced the same error. Strange?!

So I am waiting to see if the next automatic printer software update works.

I have been in touch with Canon to see if a complete printer uninstall would likely fix the issue, but I am awaiting their reply.

Regards, Steve.
