Windows 10: Windows 10 update, printer and outlook problems

My PC in running a 64 bit operating system with a 64 based processor. I am running Windows 10 1909 version. I have been having an issue with Outlook 2019 in that i need to reboot computer to get new emails? In addition, since the last update I am having an issue with my printers. I have an HP Officejet Pro 8620 that I normally use for scanning and a Brother HL 3140CW laser printer I use for printing. Since the last update my PC will only recognize one printer and if it is the HP Windows will not convert to PDF?


How to I get both printers to operate as they did before the update?

In both cases I have uninstalled the printers and reinstalled several times doing a restart and shutdown and start of the PC each time.


I do I get to receive and send in Outlook without reboot as it did before update?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times doing a restart and shutdown and start of the PC each time.

How to install outlook express on windows xp with explorer 8?

This is an awkward problem to solve and one I don't think is worth the time and effort.

The OP would be better off either using a modern webmail service like gmail or outlook.com or using a modern email client like Windows Live Mail like FX-GMC suggested or Thunderbird from Mozilla. If nothing else, Outlook Distress was notorious for corrupting its data files and losing all your email in one easy step. Not worth it.
