    Devices and Printers is not loading anything


    My Devices and Printers is not loading anything at all. All the printers etc. are OK and show up in Settings, Devices. I have tried anything I can find on the web, all services are on the “right settings” , SFC scan Is OK, been into a safe boot and still nothing. I reinstalled two of the printers; not showing so removed them via Settings. I have done everything in How To fix Devices and Printers not Loading on Windows 10 Version 1903 and more sites. Any ideas very welcome.

    Have you tried an inplace Repair Install


    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade


    It is a non destructive process, I would still backup data.


    If you use boot media that matches current install then it does an inplace repair. If you use boot media that is of a newer version it will upgrade. Please be aware.

    It is a pretty painless process, especially if you copy the iso to your desktop, right click, mount and then run setup.
