Windows 10: Update for canon printer on windows update keeps appearing

After 20H2 windows keep offering to install canon printer which 2018 version in windows update.. it's weird.

please someone can help me..

:)

 

Canon printer software update failure

Below is the text from an error report after the update fails. This has been going on since shortly after an upgrade from WIN 7 to WIN 10, and every few days the prompt to update keeps happening and failing.

• Canon - Printers - Canon MG7100 series Printer - Error 0x80070490

• Canon - Printers - Canon MP600 Printer - Error 0x80070490

I have searched for a similar problem on MS and it was suggested to do a sfc /scannow as there may be a corrupted system file. The scan returned no corrupted files.

The MG7100 is currently connected to a WLAN, with two laptops, both running WIN 10. The MP600 is no longer connected, but the software has been unistalled.

WIN 10 updates are being installed automatically as usual.

Does anybody have any other suggestions, please?

Thanks, Steve.

 

Canon - Printers - Canon MG5500 series Printer - Error 0x80240017

GaryRouth's suggestion didn't work for me. But I took his lead and used a slightly different process that eventually worked.

I uninstalled the Canon software in "Programs and Features",

rebooted my machine,

then went to Canon's site and downloaded the full package from Canon for my printer,

extracted the package,

went to the extracted files and opened the DrvSetup folder,

ran the DELDRV64.exe utility to cleanup the old software,

then ran the Setup64.exe to install the Canon software.

Since I've followed these steps, the printer works and the Windows Update for the printer isn't showing up.

 

Canon printer software update failure

Hi Divya, your suggestion didn't work - troubleshooting with wired connection.

I Removed the printer from the Settings > Devices & Printers list, re-installed 2 Canon drivers as required, and the update problem persisted.

Since then I have run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab, which found an error 'Service Registration is missing or corrupt' which was fixed. That was yesterday. I have just run it again, which produced the same error. Strange?!

So I am waiting to see if the next automatic printer software update works.

I have been in touch with Canon to see if a complete printer uninstall would likely fix the issue, but I am awaiting their reply.

Regards, Steve.
