Windows 10: Microsoft releases second update to fix printing issues on Windows 10

Microsoft released a second update to address printing issues on the company's Windows 10 operating system. The new update has been released for all Windows 10 versions starting with Windows 10 version 1607.

The update fixes the new printing issue that occurred on some devices on which the out-of-band printing fix was installed on.

Reports about bluescreen errors started to appear shortly after Microsoft released the cumulative updates for its operating systems as part of the March 2021 Patch Day. The company released workarounds to address the issue shortly after acknowledging the issue, and an out-of-band patch to address the issue.

The out-of-band patch introduced new printing related issues on some devices. Users reported that printouts with graphics would not print at all or would end prematurely.



Microsoft provides the following description on all support pages:

Updates an issue that fails to print the graphical content in a document after installing the March 9, 2021 update.
​

The new update is offered as an optional update via Windows Update and Microsoft Update. It needs to be imported into WSUS manually, and can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog website.

To update via Windows Update, select Start > Settings > Update & Security, and click on the "check for updates" button. The new update should be listed under optional updates on the page once the scan for updates completes.

Here is the list of support pages:

• Windows 10 version 2004 and 20H2: KB5001649
• Windows 10 version 1909: KB5001648
• Windows 10 version 1809: KB5001638
• Windows 10 version 1803: KB5001634
• Windows 10 version 1607: KB5001633

If you prefer direct downloads, use the following links to open the download pages on the Microsoft Update Catalog website:

• Windows 10 version 2004 and 20H2: KB5001649
• Windows 10 version 1909: KB5001648

• Windows 10 version 1803: KB5001634
• Windows 10 version 1607: KB5001633

All you need to do is download the update package for the right architecture, e.g. 64-bit version of the operating system, and to run the executable file once the package has been downloaded.

The new patch should fix the printing issues on all affected devices. (via Deskmodder)

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.
