  Hey @HP Color LaserJet Pro printer owners seeing a boot cycle with error 79 in the last few days. I think HP pushed bad firmware. I was able to resolve by turning off all networking to stop rebooting and then uploading old firmware via USB

  He said

  in my case it was an MFP M281fdw, but I’m seeing a bunch of folks on HP’s forum with error 79 in just the last few days with different models. Symptom is constant reboot if wireless or wired networking is connected

  Here’s a sample of the forum posts here: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Errors-or-Lights-Stuck-Print-Jobs/79-Service-Error-Boot-Loop/td-p/7842055

  and here https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=79&sort_by=-topicPostDate&collapse_discussion=true

  Remember once you get it working again to disable the remote firmware update until it’s known that it’s been corrected.

  (Not all HP printer support over the internet firmware updates.  But if yours is a newer model it probably does)

• November 2020 Office non-Security Updates are now available

  Posted on November 3, 2020 at 13:02 CST by PKCano • Comment in the Forums

  The November 2020 Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, November 3, 2020. They are not included in the DEFCON-3 approval for the October 2020 patches. Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.

  Remember, Susan’s patching sequence and recommendations are based on a business environment that has IT support and may have time constraints on the updating process. Consumer patching should be more cautious due to limited technical and mechanical resources. The latter is the reason for the AskWoody DEFCON system.
