After my firmware of the Laptop/PC was updated and restarted, I tried to print something. However all my printers which were added earlier disappeared from the Printers and Devices List. Only the ones default in Windows were there like onenote, etc. So i thought of adding a printer, Upon clicking the Add a printer button, a window/dialog would flash on the screen and then would immediately disappear. After doing a bit of googling heres the solution i found to Fix Missing Printers After Update
- Open Services by typing in cmd services.msc
- Find the Service DEVICE ASSOCIATION SERVICE.
- Enable/Start this service
You can now then Add a Printer as normal !!!
