Microsoft has broken network printing AGAIN

Maybe you updated Windows 11 with the first update, KB5006674, on Tuesday?

Deleting a security update solves the problem, but it is not completely optimal

You should not have done that if you are addicted to network printing, guess what? This update fixes the issue, and it has been confirmed that uninstalling said update will fix the problem.

 

We can no longer remember how many times Microsoft has messed with printers in the last six months, but it is many times.

 

Uninstalling an update that fixes 74 security holes where at least one is actively exploited is not good - it is, therefore, possible to try one of the tricks Bleeping Computer lists.

 

This applies to all modern versions of Windows
By the way, KB5006670 for Windows 10 2004, 20H1, and 21H1, as well as update KB5006667 for Windows 10 1909 and KB5006714 for Windows 8, also rotate.

 

What makes these printer problems so frustrating is Microsoft's lack of clear guidance, and the many changes that occur each month in Windows' printing function. We have asked Microsoft for official guidance to resolve the issues, but we have not heard back from them.

 

These are the error messages that occur

It is when trying to print to network print servers that one is met with error messages such as "0x00000709" and "Element not found".

 

Now we can only hope that the big bug fix, which may come next Tuesday, fixes more bugs than it creates, including the AMD performance bug.
