Microsoft recently confirmed a technical issue impacting certain USB printers on Windows 10 (version 22H2) and Windows 11 (versions 22H2 and 23H2). This problem emerged following the installation of updates released after late January 2025. Faulty patches within these updates cause printers using USB Print and IPP Over USB protocols to print unintelligible text and network commands, such as "POST /ipp/print HTTP/1.1," when users power on or reconnect the devices.
Users may encounter printing errors with dual-mode USB printers after installing the Windows preview update from January 29, 2025 (KB5050092), or subsequent updates. These devices utilize both USB Print and IPP Over USB protocols.
Microsoft addressed this error using Known Issue Rollback (KIR) technology, which disables the problematic, non-security updates remotely. This resolution deploys automatically to consumer and unmanaged business devices within 24 hours. Affected users should restart their computers promptly to allow the KIR fix to apply correctly.

Hello, I wonder if it’s possible (or useful, at least for me it would) to add a command menu to windows explorer shell: “Permanent delete file”. The same as delete, (or remove, I don’t know how it’s in english, it’s not my windows language), but not to send the file to the recycle bin, but permanently deleting it. I know how to programmatically implement it for a particular extension file format, but globally and in your app would be more interesting. Thanks.
