About this tag
Response issues on WindowsForum.com cover a range of scenarios where software or hardware fails to respond as expected. Common themes include applications like Internet Explorer, SSIS, or Streets & Trips stopping during startup or file operations, often on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Printer connectivity problems after updates, such as HP printers not responding after the Creators Update, are also discussed. System-level freezes, where Explorer or the logon process becomes unresponsive, appear alongside troubleshooting steps like running chkdsk, SFC, and antivirus scans. More recent threads address AI response errors, where a system cannot generate a reply. These discussions help users diagnose and resolve unresponsive behavior in Windows environments.

    Windows 10 Creator's update vs HP printing

    One of my computers did the creators update and now refuses to print. It is a Dell Optiplex 3040 and the printer is an HP Color Laserjet CP2045. I worked great until the update. I have removed the printer and reinstalled it several times but I get no response from the printer at all.
