  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

  3. My PC cannot detect my pen drive

    Hi,

    Kindly provide us more details about the issue so we can assist you better:

    • Were there any changes made on your PC prior to the issue?
    • Have you tried connecting your pen drive to other devices to check if it's being detected?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you do the following steps:

    Method 1: Run the Troubleshoot Hardware and Devices

    • Press Windows key + R and type Control Panel.
    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on
      Troubleshooting
      .
    • Click on Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.
    Method 2: Uninstall and re-install USB drivers

    • Press Windows key + R and type devmgmt.msc to open
      Device Manager.
    • Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    • Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click on
      Uninstall to remove it.
    • Repeat these steps for the entire USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    • Restart the computer. Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.

    If the issue persists, download the latest USB drivers for your PC from the manufacturer's website.

    If you need further assistance, let us know.

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
