Adding printer Windows 10, error: The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable

When attempting to add printer I get the error message:

"The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable."

No printer works since the Nov update.

OT:

Adding printer Windows 10

 

Active directory domain...

I downloaded the free Windows 10 several months ago. It has been nothing but trouble. Each update creates a new error and/or issue. SD cards not read, printer not found, now it is "the active directory domain services is not currently available." The last
issue took me an hour and a half to fix, wasting gigabits and time. I do not want to be a computer repairer. I just want to use the computer. Now, again, I can't print until I problem solve by searching the internet and Youtube and anything else available.
FIX Windows 10, test it, then offer it. Disgusted and frustrated.

Update: Sorry, I didn't realize this a users site not answered by Microsoft. Still need help with

1) Cannot print via wifi (in my house) because my printer is not found on the list. When I use add printer I get "the active directory domain services is not currently available." Printer used to be listed. Then was "lost" and a You-tube user explain how
to create a port for it. That worked until the latest Windows 10 update.

2) Question for general community: Should I change back to previously used Windows 7?
