Win Ver 21H1
I keep getting an update version error about a Brother printer.
One odd thing is that the update appears very old, like from 2009 and the computer was put together in 2019 so that is a bit confusing. Maybe it's saying the DRIVER is old and there's no updates available?
If so, how could I stop that from appearing in my Events and Reliability reports?
Thanks

right click and click open
Run the troubleshooter clicking advanced to repair automatically - it will show you the updates available
and hide the updates regarding the printer
This also will help you understand the situation

Do not worry about them
They will disappear over time
Your main job is to stop those updates for the printer being offered
using the procedure I outlined to you.I keep getting an update version error about a Brother printer.
The failed updates are as you know, of no consequence.
If you really want to get rid of them from reliability monitor - although it honestly is not worth the effort, then you can reset the reliability monitor as here
Clear All Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows
if you look above on that tutorial you will see that this will reset reliability history
However as I said it is not worthwhile
It would be appreciated if you could reply and if appropriate kindly mark this thread solved
I presume you have seen the further response from me, as you replied to your other thread youhave running, just some four hours ago.
A recent windows update caused my PC to begin freezing and rebooting
But they do not disappear over time. In fact, the Updates keep my PC in a perpetual state of UNReliability (according to the Windows Reliability Report)
Every red X below is due to a terminated running program due to installing a security update and every blue mark is Windows Update attempting (and failing) to install a driver for my printer that is already working perfectly.
As you can see from the image below, I will never have a "Reliable" computer (according to the Windows Reliability Report) and it's completely due to Windows Update.
Nearly every day there is a Security Update and in the process of applying that update Windows apparently abruptly shuts down running programs, causing a system error, and causing the reliability report to drop every day.
I don't see the point in a "Reliability Report" if daily Windows Updates cause the PC in question to never be "Reliable"?
The days where you see no PC issues are those days when I completely disable Windows Updates using WUB_X64.exe.
Otherwise, every problem shown in the Reliability Report is caused by Windows Update itself. Not a real problem with my system. I would think no one has a good Reliability Report ion their PC due to this?
