Problems with Windows Update

Error 0x80244007

I got error 0x80244007 on a Windows 10 computer after running the Server Cleanup Wizard on the WSUS server. In my case, deleting C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb like suggested here worked:

net stop wuauserv
del C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Datastore.edb
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /detectnow

Problems adding a network printer

Error #740

When adding a network printer fails with error #740, try running the following command from an elevated command prompt:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il

Then, add the printer using the wizard that appears.

It seems that this is somehow caused by problems with the driver installation in the regular “Add printer” wizard. After a printer has been added this way, other users should also be able to add it in the regular way.

I found this solution here.
