Developers from Microsoft have discovered a bug in Windows 10 that is rare and can lead to failures in the operation of printers connected to a computer via USB. If the user unplugs the USB printer while Windows is shutting down, the next time the printer is turned on, the corresponding USB port may become unavailable.
βIf you connect a USB printer to a computer running Windows 10, version 1909 or later, and then disconnect the devices while the operating system is shutting down, the USB port that the printer is connected to will be unavailable the next time you turn it on. As a result, Windows will not be able to perform any task that involves using the problematic port, βthe message says. Microsoft support site.
The good news is that users can solve this problem on their own. To do this, you need to connect the printer to the USB port before turning on the PC. After doing this, you can turn on the computer and after Windows loads, make sure that the printer is available again.
The issue is reportedly affecting some PCs running Windows 10 (1903), Windows 10 (1909), and Windows 10 (2004). Microsoft is currently working on a solution to this problem. It is assumed that when the developers fix the bug, a special patch will be released, available for installation to all users of the software platform.
