Windows 10: Windows 10’s latest update addresses printer mess, random reboots

Windows 10’s June 2020 cumulative update was a huge mess for some users as it crashed printers, software-based printing features and also resulted in forced system reboots. With July 2020 cumulative update, Microsoft has resolved at least three major problems on Windows 10.

Last month, printer issues appeared for some users after installing Windows 10’s May 2020 Update and the subsequent security updates. Many users and administrators were unable to print using devices from multiple manufacturers, including Brother and Ricoh.

In addition, Microsoft also managed to break the virtual PDF printers, also known as software-based printing feature.

With KB4565503 for version 2004 and KB4565483 for version 1909/1903, Microsoft says it has resolved all the printing woes caused by an update released on June 9, 2020. If you have issues with your printers or printing service, make sure that you’ve updated to the most recent version of Windows 10.

Forced reboots


Last month, Microsoft also owned up to the fact that Windows 10 has yet another serious problem that will force reboot some systems. Cumulative updates, which were released on June 9, may cause a critical issue with the Local Security Authority Process.

Affected users previously noted that they’re randomly receiving “your PC will automatically restart in one minute” error after booting to the desktop.

Fortunately, Windows 10’s most recent cumulative finally addresses this problem and your PC will no longer attempt to restart itself.

OneDrive


Earlier this month, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 10 May 2020 Update breaks OneDrive functionality on older PCs which have apps that use the old legacy file system. Microsoft noted that the bug causes OneDrive to fail with “OneDrive cannot connect to Windows” – when trying to open Microsoft’s cloud storage service on Windows 10.

Microsoft promised that it is working on a resolution and the company has kept its word.

With Windows 10 KB4565503 update, Microsoft has finally resolved all issues with the OneDrive app and the contents synced to the cloud storage service.

In theory, this should also remove the upgrade block for some Windows 10 version 1909 and 1903 users in the next 48 hours.

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Random reboots with Windows 10

Random reboots happening on my custom built Windows 10 PC. Not sure what's causing it since the last things I updated on it were my memory and graphics card. Tried swapping them back out with what I previously had in my computer but I still get random
crashes. Reboots happens without any warning, no blue screen or any other error messages. Here is the last mini dump from my computer:

If anyone has any suggestions or help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
