  1. KB4598242 and/or KB4586876 Updates


    Hello,


    Both of these were installed on 1/15/2021, now my printer will not work. I have tried everything suggested by MS to no avail.

    • Turn off/on printer
    • Unplug printer
    • Turn off/on computer
    • Run troubleshooter on computer
      • Nothing
    • Run troubleshooter on printer
      • Nothing
    • Uninstall update
      • Won't do it
    • Recovery
      • Says the last update was more than 10 days ago... really? It is 1/17/2021 - 2 days

    I am seriously tempted to switch to Apple, but that has its own set of frustrations, I'm sure.


    MS updates are too often and have too many problems... I am quite frustrated!


    Hopefully someone can help.


    Thanks

    :)

    KB4586876 Cumulative Update .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 Windows 10 Jan. 12 Win Update

    Hi Denis:
    Thank you for your detailed instructions!! This will probably take several days & I'll keep you updated.

    I did steps 1 & 2. This installed more updates than I could count...something like 20-30. However, KB4586876 was not listed. Unfortunately, I had to undo several things (I now remember why I didn't update all MS products). I have Word, Excel, & Access from 2003, as well as Word & Access 2016. Updating MS products caused a "file validation" problem whenver I opened a .doc file. I fixed that (with a registry hack). However, it did something to Word 2016, where all my .doc & .docx files were opened by Word 2003 & Word 2016 wasn't an option under "Open with...". I ended up restoring everything from Macrium Reflect.

    I will now start with step 3.2.

    KB4586876 Cumulative Update .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 Windows 10 Jan. 12 Win Update

    Phil,

    This might all be pretty confusing now.

    I suggest

    1 Turn on updates for other MS products - my post #22
    2 Run WU to see if it now shows that KB4586876 .Net update as being required

    3.1 If WU lists it then install it.
    4.1 If it installs and there are no remaining problems, stick the kettle on.

    3.2 If WU still does not list it then use that .Net fixer tutorial I gave you a link to - my post #18
    4.2 If the problem defies the fixer tool then study the Ghot guidance in that other thread I gave you a link to [ - my post #18] and consider Ghot's suggestion of re-installing the runtime [his post #21].
    5.2 If it refuses to install, try reinstalling v3.5 - Install .Net Framework 3.5 - TenForumsTutorials The update is for both 3.5 & 4.8 but I suppose there's a chance that reinstalling 3.5 would give something a kick up the pants enough to get it all working.
    6.2 If it still won't play, consider unloading then reloading both .Net entries in CP, P&F, Turn Windows features on & off. We used to do that for WMP in Windows 7 so it is a pretty well-established method but I have not seen anybody apply it to .Net entries before so you might want to discuss it further before doing anything about it.

    Best of luck,
    Denis

    12:29 - I have now finished fiddling with this post.

    KB4592438 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.685 and v20H2 19042.685 Win Update

    I agree with Steve's suggestion earlier. Copy all the relevant KB4586876 info from your posts here to KB4586876 Net - TenForums and discuss it there. Otherwise your wisdom will not be found by others who might have problems with this update in the future.

    Steve - The most comprehensive list of updates is always that in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features, View installed updates. The others suffer from Windows weeding processes - in Settings, Updates it only shows those updates it is capable of removing.

    I installed KB4586876 on three computers in early December and did not find any problems.
