Earlier this week, Microsoft released a whole bunch of updates for Windows 10 users. These updates also included KB5000802 cumulative update that caused PCs to crash with 'APC_INDEX_MISMATCH' BSOD error when trying to use printers.

Yesterday, Microsoft acknowledged the issue and confirmed that the company was working on a fix for the problem.

As such, the company has shared a video for users to follow and fix the issue temporarily.
