  2. 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.

    Download folder not responding

    I recently tried to download a video and since then I can't open the Download folder. I want to delete the file which I suspect must be corrupt, but every time I open the Downloads folder, it says "working on it" and the Download folder is "Not responding".
    I'd like to delete all the contents of the folder.

    Any suggestions?
