@jimbo45 I have no doubts it's a useful update or that it will improve stuff. It's just that rebooting computer all the time, when I really should be working, is tiresome. I have so many windows and apps open, that it takes me a long time to get back to the state I was in before reboot.

Hi there

@slicendice

You know your own methods best but if you are doing a load of things and having to re-boot perhaps you might consider a "different" workflow -- of course I can't know how your setup looks or how you arrange things but I'd look at creating a test machine for trying this stuff out on and then a quick "sysprep" to roll out the upgrade to a load of other ones at a convenient time.

I don't like re-booting in the middle of doing stuff either -- perhaps Windows could take a look at how Arch Linux manages its sytem upgrades via pacman (pacman -Syu) -- it even updates kernels, re-compiles things like the modules required for installing VMWare after a kernel upgrade etc and all without requiring a re-boot. !!!

Still I'm sticking with this update --- some reports that VMWare WKS 15.5 wouldn't install on it -- no problems on that score here -- works 100% on both a bog standard HP envy i5core processor laptop and an ageing old "tower type desktop" with AMD processor.

Cheers

Is this update really a fix for printer problems?
I continue to suffer from printer failures caused by this patch.
Is there any good way? Uninstall?

Hi there
what's the printer problem -- I've no problems here at all running a network printer. Explain problem a bit more clearly and the printer that doesn't work and perhaps we can find a solution --this build IMO seems pretty robust.

Yep, same here. I am not an insider too, got it from WU.

non-insider and I got KB4524147 from MUC and already got 1909 build 18363.356 from the ESD file from MDL W10 ESD repository. now using build 18363.388

note to hirohiro: what kind of printer do you have and what kind of printing problems you are having?

I had an "unrelated" print problem with the HP envy photo 7858 printer my family is using but that turned out to be a driver issue which I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted and then reinstalled the drivers and the HP envy 7858 printer can now print anything thru a wifi internet connection after printer driver re-install, regardless of whether KB4524147 update is installed or not

I'm sorry.

[Addresses an intermediary issue with the print spooler service that may cause print jobs to fail.]
That's the problem.
The printer model is not a specific model. It varies.

no hirohiro

jimbo45 is asking YOU what KIND of specific printing problem you have?

saying that "it varies" is not being helpful

*The spooler service stops and no printer icon appears.
*Therefore, when I try to print, [No printers installed] is displayed.
*Manually Changing Spooler Service From [Stop] to [Start], But Going Back to "Stop" Again

These are the symptoms.
When I checked the printer, I heard that it is only Ricoh at present.

Hi there
I'm sharing EPSON and HP printers between a number of machines - various Windows builds including from an XP Virtual machine and 2 Linux machines -- I've no printing problems of any kind (other than the wretched consummables are getting a bit expensive these days !!!!!!.

Network printers are a total doddle to set up --even on Windows !!!!)
