Simple script to check for and remove the problematic KB5000802 and KB5000808 updates that are causing issues with printers like Kyocera, Ricoh, Lexmark, etc….
$installed_patches = Get-WmiObject Win32_QuickFixEngineering
if ($installed_patches.hotfixid -match "KB5000802"){
Write-Host "Patch KB5000802 Found...Uninstalling"
$removal_command = "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:5000802 /quiet /log /norestart"
Invoke-Expression -Command $Removal_Command
}
if ($installed_patches.hotfixid -match "KB5000808"){
Write-Host "Patch KB5000808 Found...Uninstalling"
$removal_command = "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:5000808 /quiet /log /norestart"
Invoke-Expression -Command $Removal_Command
}
if ($installed_patches.hotfixid -notmatch "KB5000802"){
Write-Host "Patch KB5000802 not found"
}
if ($installed_patches.hotfixid -notmatch "KB5000808"){
Write-Host "Patch KB5000808 not found"
}This will still need a reboot to take affect, but should do the trick.
This could also be modified to remove the Windows server patch KB5000822 that causes the same problem.
Hope this helps!
