KB5014666 causes the Recovery-feature refuse to open

Hello friends!

I have five computers running Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (OS version 19044.1806).

The KB5014666 update causes the Recovery-feature to refuse to open.



I go to "Settings", "Update and recovery" and then "Recovery".

This page refuses to open on all computers.



If I uninstall KB5014666 it will work again.

Is there any solution to this?



Thanks.

 

Windows 10 update KB5014666, usb printer not detected

Hi, I have a multifunction printer HP Laserjet Pro M1132 MFP.

After installing the KB5014666 update, Windows 10 does not detect the printer, it first installs the scanner device, and I'm not able to install the printer device (or function).



I have tested a couple of computers with this update and the printer does not install, however on a computer without KB5014666, the installation goes fine and both printer and scanner work.

I understand that KB5014666 makes some updates in how usb printers work in Windows 10, what I've noticed is that Win10 installs the scanner taking the USB virtual port impeding the printer install. Even if I remove the scanner device, the virtual USB port is not available until I restart the computer, maybe something to do with this issue.

I have remove and installed the drivers, devices several times in different manners to no avail. Even tried removing the update, but it's not removable.

At this moment I'm left with installing Win 10 again. If someone has another idea...

Temporarily uninstall KB5014666 update and try to 'Pause updates for 7 days' until Microsoft releases a fix. You may try to check next week new updates if this fixes the issue.

You can also use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the problematic update. Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates. Run the troubleshooter then please try to hide KB5014666 update that will show in the list. You may try restarting your pc if it helps.

Unfortunately, the official download link for "Show or Hide Updates" troubleshooter has been broken or removed. You can safely download the "Show or Hide Updates Troubleshooter" in this alternative site.
