Printer doesn't work anymore after the last Windows update

Same problem here (Windows update & Brother MFC-6490CW)...

Well it is K44560960 that is killing our printers and here is the cause: Updates to improve security when using external devices (such as game controllers, printers, and web cameras) and input devices (such as a mouse, keyboard, or stylus).

uninstalling kb4560960 is good for me.
But, another update came in: kb4556799

Thank you both !

You're welcome and thanks for your feedback! :)

Hello @rdwray, Have you un-installed the WU and tested it?

I could not try it 'cause system denies to uninstall that update... And I opened a command prompt with administrative privileges... :/

Did anybody already try this?

Hello @rdwray,

Yes I have... I did a restore point on one PC and uninstall on another and it satisfied both machines.

Did you run . . .

Code:

wusa.exe /uninstall /KB:4560960 /quiet /norestart

. . . in an elevated cmd prompt if that is the correct WU?

yes I did that even if without /quiet and /norestart parameters.

Without /quiet a requester pops up saying "Microsoft Windows update (KB4560960) is necessary for the computer and cannot be uninstalled".

If you have a restore point, use it...
