Microsoft has addressed the Windows 10 printing issues caused by changes introduced in the June 2021 cumulative update preview with an update issued during this month's Patch Tuesday.
To resolve the printing issues, Microsoft released an emergency fix for Windows 10 2004, Windows 10 20H2, and Windows 10 21H1 on July 9, rolling it out via the Known Issue Rollback feature.
To provide a fix for customers who do not want or can't use KIR to resolve these printing problems, Microsoft also released the KB5004237 update as part of the July 2021 Patch Tuesday.
"This issue was resolved in KB5004237, released July 13, 2021. If you are using an update released before July 13, 2021, you can resolve this issue using Known Issue Rollback," Microsoft said in a new update to the Windows release health dashboard.
Customers also encountered printing issues in March after installing the March 2021 Patch Tuesday updates.
To resolve these issues, Microsoft released two out-of-band emergency updates for Windows 10 one week later: KB5001567 on March 15 to fix the crashes and KB5001649 on March 18 to fix the printing issues.
