In context: It’s been a rocky start for Microsoft’s latest revamp, Windows 11, to say the least. The OS has been subject to several issues in the past few weeks. While some have been patched, another one joins the lineup of problems the operating system is causing. Brother, a Japanese firm that sells computer-related electronics, says that a substantial amount of its printers may not function correctly when used via a USB connection in Windows 11. A help article (via BleepingComputer) warns that users updating to Windows 11 could prevent their system from identifying a Brother printer when connected through USB. Microsoft’s latest revamp may also prevent a computer from changing printer settings or connecting more than a single printer when using a USB connection. Brother says the issues affect a wide range of its products; in total,92 printer models are experiencing problems with the operating system.
