After yesterday Windows 10 March updates, my PC receive an APC_INDEX_MISMATCH error with a blue screen when attempting to print to my Gprinter GD1324D themal printer in browsers or pdf software.
This issue affects a subset of Type 3 printer drivers and does not affect printer drivers that are Type 4. A Type 4 driver is usually bundled with the operating system or is downloaded from Windows update, whereas Type 3 drivers are often downloaded from the printer manufacturer’s website.
This is known issues by Microsoft, and up to now still no solution yet…I’ve tried revert back the windows update to previous version build, reinstall printer driver, but the error still persist…
The last workaround is to uninstall KB5000802 updates and problem resolved.

Switch to Linux and be happy
For normal surfing internet can easily switch to linux, but softwares like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, games, still need Windows to run, my PC are running dual OS of Windows 10 & Linux Mint.
