Printer is suddenly gone under Windows 10 and 11 , why?


Due to the running in the background Windows 10 or 11 Update can ever be a new installation of the printer driver required!

Some users of my program  DirPrintOK  have reported to me about this problem and asked me if it is possibly due to  DirPrintOK  that the printer driver disappears. Of course that is not the case. For most Windows 10 computers, it happens during the autoupdate. It may also be that Windows 10 does not recognize the digital signature from the new printer driver.  

Info: Check if the printer cable is properly plugged in, or if the printer is not offline with WiFi, please restart the Windows-10 and also take the printer off the mains.  

Disable Driver Updates: 
► Disable Driver Auto-Updates on Windows-10, but how?  

The Windows 10 driver update: 
► Driver Update via the Windows 10 Device Manager! 
Testing the driver via the command prompt: 
► Driver Query via the command prompt in Windows (10, 8.1, 7) ! 

Finally, go to the manufacturer's site and download the latest original printer driver version, reinstall, and restart Windows 10.

► Clean installation of Windows 10 ! 
► Use the System File Checker  on Windows 10 crashes!

Info:

Some users also reported that when installing new printer drivers, the Windows 10 Defender had to be disabled to successfully complete the printer driver installation.
