After the recent update my Windows Updater simply died as half of the files. The only way to fix this problem was to reinstall the system, lol.

Windows 10 KB5000802 (March 2021 update) has been going seriously wrong for some PC owners in the last twelve hours, with several users reporting that the botched update is causing Blue Screen of Death errors when they use printers.

To make matters worse, KB5000802 is an automatic security update, which means it has been downloaded and installed automatically for some customers. Users didn’t have a say in whether or not Microsoft should install the update and break their computers with BSOD

March 2021 cumulative update is proving troublesome for PCs with printers, going by reports on online forums. According to reports, Windows 10 completely crashes and throws up a Blue Screen of Death with stop error code “APC_INDEX_MISMATCH for win32kfull.sys”.

The problem was first confirmed by one of our readers, who told us that the update is causing BSOD when using printers in their organization:

“This update seems to be causing blue screens when printing to Kyocera Universal Print drivers. Have had at least 20 confirmed cases from 4 different clients already and it’s only been an hour into the day”.

Reports of printer failures include Kyocera, Ricoh, Zebra, and others.

It’s not clear how many machines were affected by this problem, but we’ve seen numerous reports of error popping up here and there.

The most worrying thing is that Windows 10 simply crashes when users try to print via Notepad, Office and other apps. This happens only when your device is using an affected printer/printing driver.

Thanks for the heads-up aka_STEVE_b...  I rarely print anything & haven't since installing these latest updates.  Could be why I haven't had any issue's.

Not sure why. I guess you'll have to find a fix. I can't find one for you yet. I looked around.
