This new patch loving up printing is loving up my poo poo for real. People at work can't print checks now. Removing the March CU doesn't fix it. None of the new patches from Microsoft fixes it. Might be giving them new machines where my image is from last year and turn off Windows Update.

So the last cumulative update had a bug that caused a bluescreen if you tried to print with printers that used a particular driver ("KX driver for Universal printing").

To fix it they put out an emergency patch. Which stopped the bluescreen, but caused print failures in general on all sorts of printers. You want to remove KB5001567 or KB5001566 to make printing work again (assuming you don't have a printer that uses the bluescreening driver).

To fix that they put out another patch, but it apparently fails to install on most affected systems so they've pulled / slowed the rollout.

Next they're going to swallow a dog to catch the cat...

I don't see either one of these patches installed nor do I see them in WSUS. Crazy.

Nope! More Microsoft bullshit!
Uninstalled the latest “ Features” update from the options and that got everything back to normal.
Not sure what the “features” was supposed to be

That shits all normal. Your grampa is on an old rear end ver of Windows 10 that is no longer supported. Microsoft pushed down the latest version and some minor things changed. I did that for about 300 users and maybe 5 had issues.

The Cisco soft phone emulator is end of life years ago if I remember correctly and hasn’t been updated for a long time. Ask me about Cisco call centers cause I admin one.

Why the hell don't they just get her a real goddamn phone?

No one really has desk phones anymore. We migrated our call center to the same software she is using but this was years and years ago. It worked fine, but it's EOL and hasn't been updated in ages. Cisco then migrated over to Jabber, which is current and works way way better as a softphone.

Now they're moving over to Webex Teams for calling. We migrated all our call center to Webex Teams and I'm currently working on migrating the rest of the org too. It also works way way better and has basically no issues. All the settings missing from the old CIPC is in Jabber and Teams.

All our call center agents use Jabra wireless headsets. The bases are USB.

A recent update seems to have finally broken Classic Shell -- anyone know of an alternative? :negative:

I cannot overstate how much I hate the 'new' Start Menu design. It's extremely hostile towards keyboard based navigation, and I like to use my mouse as little as possible. I used to be able to just hit like Windows Key, Up, Right Right Enter and that'd sleep my computer. Now it's like, Windows Key, Tab, Down x5, Enter, Enter.

You can hit the start button on your keyboard, type the first few letters of the app and hit enter.

There is a update which is KB5021233 and is causing computers to blue screen with a 21a error code. The fix is get to a command prompt via recovery. Xcopy C:\windows\system32\drivers\hidparse.sys c:\windows\system32\hidparse.sys and let it overwrite the file. Presto!
