Windows 10: My thoughts on the KB5005565 update problem.

KB5005565 - This update broke the functionality of my shared printer. I need to print from all my machines, what should I do? This is a known problem with this update package, apparently, since the Google found numerous other people complaining. And the solution was to uninstall the said update..It would be helpful, if this information was on the update package description page as a known problem / bug, however it is not there yet. https://support.microsoft.com/lv-lv/topic/2021-gada-14-septembris-kb5005565-os-būvējumus-19041-1237-19042-1237-un-19043-1237-292cf8ed-f97b-4cd8-9883-32b71e3e6b44

Possible printer issue with KB5005565

Today I installed KB5005565 through WU on my desktop. Successfully installed.

Tonight my wife can't print from her laptop to the printer connected to my desktop. This has been working for years.
Printers work, can transfer files from laptop to desktop and back. All network setting unchanged.
I suspect the update I did today is the problem.
Has anyone else had this happen?

Looking at "Uninstall Updates" in WU there is for today:

• Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5005565)
• Servicing Stack 10.0.19041.1220

Looking at System Restore, there are 3 restore points to go back to, all dated today:

• Windows Modules Installer at 12:23
• Windows Modules Installer at 12:22
• update at 12:21

What's the best way to roll back?

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

KB5005565 Windows 10 2004 19041.1237, 20H2 19042.1237, 21H1 19043.1237 Win Update

I am on Version 21H2.

Edited to avoid misunderstandings - Because there were contradictory posts in this thread about the applicability of this CU to Version 21H2, I checked that KB5005565 CU was listed in my WU results before proceeding.
Because I was already on 21H2, and because there were contradictory posts in this thread about the applicability of this CU to Version 21H2, I checked that KB5005565 CU was listed in my WU results before proceeding.

I can therefore confirm both that KB5005565 CU is intended for Version 21H2 and that it installs correctly.
And there is at least one other thread confirming that it installs correctly.
