On October 3, Microsoft issued an out of the band update for Windows 10 version 1903 and older versions with important security improvements. The patch also included a fix for an earlier issue where the Printer feature wouldn’t work properly on Windows 10 version 1909, otherwise known as May 2019 Update.

However, since issuing the Windows 10 KB4524147, reports are coming in that this update, which is supposed to fix the “print spooler issue”, actually breaks the print spooler on PCs where it was functioning normally before the updates.

In a Reddit thread, system administrators are reporting that Printer spooler service has stopped working after applying the update.

“Yep some of our workstations got the KB4524147 update last night and got multiple calls this morning about printing not working. Spooler service keeps crashing. Uninstalled the update and printing working again. This has got to be a joke from MS. We just finished uninstalling the last KB that broke printing and now another one,” a frustrated administrator said.

The issue has been reported on the Microsoft community forum and Feedback Hub as well.

Installation issues

As per another Reddit thread, Microsoft community forum and Feedback Hub, Windows 10 KB4524147 installation ends abruptly or installation fails after a certain percentage.

“Windows Update keeps failing to install 2019-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 1903 x64 KB4524147 with error 0x800f081f,” a user said on Feedback Hub.

Microsoft is yet to acknowledge the botched Windows 10 update problems but you can remove the patch to resolve all these problems.
