strange driver update

PiKo · 09 Dec 2020

Any idea why a recent update of an old MS driver took place? An "MS Printer" does not show up in printers listing. In Device Manager only my Brother printer is visible. W10 64bits v2004

[1] What Edition of Win 10 are you using?
[2] Could it have picked up something for Win 7?
[3] Do these help? . . .

Thanks, as I understand now, it was an error, induced by a previous version of Malware Bytes. I do not consider it as a problem, but my curiosity is now satisfied.
