As if a Windows Print Spooler that can let someone take over anyone’s computer remotely is not that bad enough, some people who have installed Microsoft’s security patch have found out that the computer’s connection to their printer needs fixing.
In a recent repetition of a problem that had occurred during this spring with a different security update in Windows 10, system admins have discovered, PCs could not connect to the printers all of a sudden. Most particularly, some models of Zebra label printers have been facing trouble after installing the KB5004945 security patch.Microsoft has acknowledged the issue as a well-known problem that can be resolved by rolling back the patch or by reinstalling the printer as a manager.
Nevertheless, at least one security researcher has displayed a working exploit on a fully patched system with Point & Print features enabled on it, so if one does not have a Zebra printer, they should install the update as soon as possible.
