[Framers] Windows 10 updates disables FM printing

[Ken Poshedly]

"Quills",
Your sarcasm is noted. I'm just looking for help trying to ward off future problems with Windows 10 updates. And this is the first update since I was "forced" into Windows 10 that has caused this problem.

Going back to Windows 7 (which I liked) might be tempting, but in the long run, it'll wind up just like Windows XP, forgotten and unsupported.
