i cannot Fax or Scan after installing Microsoft update KB 5016616. I've tried uninstalling this update, but Microsoft won't let that happen. My old restart/restore points were also wiped out during the install. I have current system images & restored them & everything worked ok until somehow - I don't know how - the updates were laid down a few days later. I've done this install/system image restore several times & can't find a way to prevent the update getting installed.

I've also tried reinstalling the drivers, but, since the Microsoft update, that doesn't work either. In their update notes, Microsoft mentioned that they "fixed" some printing problems. The Microsoft Troubleshooter cannot find/fix the problem. 

The specific issue is that my ver. 10 system does not see the scanner or fax. It does allow me to print but that's all it allows me to do.

Anyone have any ideas?
