Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Win10 upgrade stops at 24% fails with 0xc0000f


Upgrade of Win7 HP laptop -- not usual failure code. Upgrade done through Windows Update (copy was reserved). Gets to 24%, restarts, bring up Recovery screen, fails with 0xc0000f -- a required device isn't connected.

Only one physical drive in the laptop -- works fine under Win7.

Have seen threads about problems with System Reserved being too small for Win10 (200MB for Win7 vs. 450MB for Win8). Tried shrinking C: and resizing System Reserved.

Repeats above problems -- plus, leaves laptop in weird mode with Win10 partially installed, a new Recovery partition, and nothing working (meaning, Win7 won't boot anymore).

Am now trying option of installing from DVD, after merging boot stuff into C: partition and removing System Reserved -- figuring that if Win10 requires a System Reserved partition, it knows how to create one the right size.

Anyone else run into this? Anyone know how to work around this problem? Please don't suggest a wipe and new install -- I've got too much on this laptop to spend hours hunting down CDs and product codes to have to reinstall everything from scratch.

 

"A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" Error 0x000000e on Windows 10

I wanted to install an SSD in a Laptop with 2 HDDs, one of which is not used. I took out the HDD which was not used, replacing it with the SSD and leaving the HDD with the
current Windows 10 Operating system. I then installed Windows 10 from media creation on the new SSD. But I receive the error : "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" - "Error 0x000000e", when I select the new
Windows installation from the Boot Manager.

Steps followed:

1. Replace HDD with new SSD. (Still with 1 OS HDD installed)
2. Create Windows 10 installation media with the Media Creation tool from Microsoft.
3. Boot from Windows 10 installation media.
4. Install Windows 10 on the new SSD. (no volume exists)
5. Installation Completes.
6. Re-boot.
7. Windows Boot Manager shows the 2 Windows 10 Installations.
8. Select the new installation.
9. Receive the error : "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" - "Error 0x000000e"

After some research I have found the following two options:

Option 1: This seems like a simple solution, but will I be able to boot from both Operation Systems (OS) after this?

1. Reformat the Partition created on the SSD for Windows 10
2. Remove the old HDD from the Laptop
3. Reinstall Windows 10 from the installation media

Option 2: This is the most common suggestion but the information around this fix is fairly limited, I don't understand why this simple installation would cause issues here? I did run bootrec /scanos and no OS was listed.

1. bootrec /fixmbr
2. bootrec /fixboot
3. bootrec /scanos <--- If no OS is found run the following
   1. bcdedit /export C:\bcdbackup
   2. C:
   3. cd boot
   4. attrib bcd -s -h –r
   5. ren C:\boot\bcd bcd.old
4. bootrec /rebuildbcd

Option 2 found from sources such as, Fix the MBR – Guide for Windows 10, 11, XP, Vista, 7, 8 / FIX: A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed 0x000000E on Windows 10/8/8.1
