A big thanks to you and JoeMcLutz for this thread and solution. I was going crazy with my printer suddenly not working.

This fix worked like a charm !

Thanks !

You are very welcome, I am glad that we able to help!

To add, the x86 download I got from the Catalog didn't work on my Version 1909 Build 18363.900, error was it didn't apply to the installation, but it did work fine after Upgrading to Version 2004 Build 19041.329 then installing KB4567523. The downloaded x86 file at 66.7MB was quite a bit smaller than the one for x64 at 204MB.

Update: Working with a Brother MFC-J615w Multi-function device with the problem. To verify the printer actually worked I installed it on a Win7 computer, no issue. To check on Win10 I installed it on an x86 Notebook and had the problem, it hadn't been used in awhile so updated Version1909 to the latest, no luck so Upgraded to Version 2004, updated then installed KB4567523 I had downloaded from the Windows Update Catalog, works fine.

I did a second Notebook, same as the x86 except x64. The update/Upgrade steps on the x64 machine were to Version 1909 Build 18363.81 then Upgraded to Version 2004 19041.329 then updated to Build 19041.331 and finally installed KB4567523, works fine.

So far the only printers I've seen listed as affected are Brother, Canon, Panasonic and Ricoh.
