So, I don't WU all my machines on the same day. I uninstalled the KB5******, from the 1st machine, when the KB was pulled. It has since reinstalled, on the 2nd day. Booting up a 2nd machine, on the 2nd day. The WU (full set) tumbled out of the MS Portal, and installed. USB printing, OK. Don't do WiFi Peripherals & Extras. Regards.

Hi ITMA:
See Gunter Born's post # 2349312 in the 09-Mar-2021 AskWoody.com thread March Patching Madness Begins. There's some speculation that the Win 10 cumulative updates KB5000802/KB5000808 for Win 10 v1909 to v20H2 have been temporarily pulled because a bug fix to patch vulnerability CVE-2021-1640 (elevation of privilege related to print jobs submitted to “FILE:” ports) is causing BSODs on a significant number of systems.
