I spent most of yesterday trying to fix my printer problem and finally found out that it was that @*&%$~+ update to blame. It took some finding but the fix was to do a system restore, which gave me the printer back then go to services.msc and disable Windows Update on the General Tab. Then go to the Recovery Tab and set all the 'Failures' to Take No Action. Then reset the Fail count to zero. That'll stop the Automatic Updates from downloading the same problem.
Apparently this fix gets over-ridden after a certain amount of time by the Windows Update Medic Services (just below the above entry) so you'll need to download Windows Update Blocker, which will prevent that happening. Really simple to use. I'll revert to normal once Microsoft issue a fix.
I wish they'd let us manually uninstall updates as easily as previous Windows versions. There was no option for that on my computer. Give me W7 over 10 any day.
