If your USB printer port went missing after disconnecting your Printer or turning Off your Windows 10, Version 2004 and 1909, 1903 PC then you are not alone..! 

Ever since the latest KB updates were installed, Windows 10 users starting 1903 are experiencing a strange problem which has a pretty much easy fix. The issue is their USB printer port will disappear after turning off or restarting their Windows 10 PC/ Laptop. And it won't appear on Settings -> Devices -> Printers and Scanners -> Printer server and Properties -> Port tab.  Result ? you won't be able to print. 

So, What is the issue ?

Here is What Microsoft Says,

• If the driver for the USB printer contains a Language Monitor, the OpenPortEx callback function of the Language Monitor would not be called.  As a result, the user cannot fulfill operations dependent on the operation of the Language Monitor.
• In the "Devices and Printers" control panel, when selecting [Print Server Properties] > [Port] tab, the port for the USB printer (such as "USB001") would not appear in the list of printer ports.  As a result, the user cannot fulfill operations dependent on the existence of the port

The answer is pretty much simple as said earlier, you have to connect your Printer before turning on your Windows 10 PC. That's it? ya that's it..

If you had already turned on, your PC then

1) Press Alt and F4 Keys Simultaneously.

2) Or Press Start -> Power -> Shutdown/ Turn off your PC.

3) Connect your Powered ON USB printer.

Running DISM Command Still shows Nothing fixed after repair in Windows 10, Version 2004? [ Here is why you don't need to worry!]

DISM command not working or does your Windows 10, 2004 both client and server edition shows corrupted files even after running DISM DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth ? then i hope this guide might be helpful for you...

                            Its been so long, since i wrote a post about Windows 10 (if you are a regular reader of our site, then you might even say its been so long, since you actually wrote a post buddy!, got you as well😁😁 ) here is a post i decided to write it because i guess most of you might have already upgraded your Windows 10,Version 1909 to Version 2004 and Might search for a solution for one of the most serious issue which we doesn't need to worry about when occurs. 

If you haven't already upgraded, then its a good news for you, because users who installed this Windows 10, version 2004 are facing a couple of issues, one of them is their DISM command which was believed to repair your PC has actually being corrupt!.

What is the exact issue ?

If you are a intermediate user or advanced user then you might have well known this command " DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" and  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanHealth

this command which will fix your corrupted files, will now show your files are corrupted even after fixing the files in background!

Which means you won't know whether the file is actually corrupted or just got fixed :( 

So, what is the solution? why i don't need to worry?

Microsoft says, this is a known issue and they are actually working on a possible fix and we can expect a fix in the next one or two weeks.. until then if your PC is having problems, then Microsoft asks you to do one small thing, run the same command again! I'm not kidding, that was the actual temporary fix that was suggested by Microsoft.

Here is What Microsoft Says from the Official site...

DISM might incorrectly report corruption is still present after repair

After using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) command /restorehealth to detect and correct system corruption, you might receive a report from the tool that corruption is still present. This can occur even when it has been repaired. An example for using the /restorehealth command is: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Affected platforms:

Client: Windows 10, version 2004

Server: Windows Server, version 2004

 

Workaround: If you receive reports that there is still corruption, subsequent scans should indicate the true state of the corruption. You can verify that DISM has fixed it by rerunning the same command or by using the /ScanHealth command. An example using the /ScanHealth command is: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Just reran the command and find your true state of files whether it was fixed or not, until Microsoft fixes the issue..

Keep breaking:)
