    Windows 10 1803 keeps trying to install a printer that I do not have?


    Hi,


    I have a Dell laptop running Windows 10 V1803 and for some strange reason it keeps trying to install a printer that as far as I know I have never had connected to this PC? The update keeps trying to install "HP driver update for HP LaserJet Professional CM1410 Series PCL 6". I have gone through device manager and there is no entry for this device even when showing hidden devices? I have gone through every category in case it is not in "print queues" or "printers" and there is nothing I can see to do with this printer.


    Can someone tell me where I should be looking to try and convince Windows that I do not have this device and it doesn't need to update it?


    Siv

    :)

    windows 10 VERY slow when trying to open Devices & Printers?

    Although I appreciate your offer for suggestions as you can see by the post dates, this thread is a bit long in the tooth. The issue was resolved with one of the updated builds of windows 10. Although in my opinion it's still not as fast as Windows 7, it's nowhere near as slow as it was in summer 2016 when I posted this issue.

    Thread issue resolved

    Windows 10 1803 keeps trying to install a printer that I do not have?

    windows 10 VERY slow when trying to open Devices & Printers?

    Some things you can try:

    - Uninstall Realtek audio drivers and allow Windows to install its drivers instead.
    - Uninstall HP printer drivers, see if Windows has drivers or install latest 8/10 drivers.
    - Disable Bluetooth service in services.msc.
    - Remove any network devices not connected to or using any longer.
    - Remove all USB devices, uninstall printers, delete network devices, verify it starts without extra stuff enabled.
    - Download and use DevNodeClean: http://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/10390-devices-printers-slow-open-2.html#post671260
    - If in pro, go to Print Management and remove any old printer drivers, if you have any.
    - If you are unable to remove the driver from there, follow this guide to printui: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-windows/6700d817-cfb7-4d94-904e-25bc8f435c7f
    - You might check the solutions here, some from 7 and 8 are relevant on 10 as well: device & printer panel does not load? - Windows 7 Help Forums
