Microsoft says its November security updates cause printing issues — uninstall the update or wait for a fix?
priyaq asked
Microsoft confirmed the November security updates are causing printing problems for some users. My home office printer stopped working right after the update installed, and I have invoices to print this week. Uninstalling a security update feels like trading one problem for a worse one, but waiting on Microsoft with no timeline is not great either. Has anyone hit this and found a workaround that actually works, or did you just roll back the update?

- Wait, and print from your phone in the meantime
Do not uninstall a security update to fix a printer. Most of these printing bugs get a patch within a week, and your phone or a USB stick to a library printer covers invoices until then. Rolling back security for convenience is how you end up with a much bigger bill.
