How to fix Epson Printer bugs after Patch Tuesday
It is worth mentioning that these annoying print bugs affect all Windows versions, including Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and all Windows 10 releases. However, judging by user reports, it appears that this issue is prevalent for Windows 10 users. As you can see, uninstalling and reinstalling your print drivers won’t fix this problem. The best solution is to simply uninstall the problematic patches. Here is the list of all the November Patch Tuesday updates that may cause issues on Epson printers:
Windows 10 1709 KB4048955 Build 16299.64 Windows 10 1703 KB4048954 Build 15063.726 Windows 10 1607 KB4048953 Build 14393.1884 Windows 10 1511 KB4048952 Build 10586.1232 Windows 10 1507 KB4048956 Build 10240.17673 Windows 8.1 KB4048958 Windows 7 KB4048957
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > View installed updates. Locate the problematic update and uninstall it.
Then, temporarily pause updates to make sure that your computer won’t install the latest patches automatically. Here are the steps to follow: go to Settings > Updates > Advanced options > and select the ‘Pause updates’ option. Of course, if you own more than one printer, you can use the second one until you can safely use your Epson printer again. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
