We can't install this printer right now is usually a 740 error that may chase down users while trying to add a new printer to the device list. This is the kind of message users tend to receive when facing this issue: "That didn’t work. We can’t install this printer right now. Try again later, or contact your network administrator for help. Error: #740." The most common reasons for its appearance are usually insufficient administrative privileges, problematic printer drivers, and other technical difficulties such as temporarily malfunctioned printer servers. In this guide, we are going to show you a couple of methods that may potentially resolve the error and let you connect your printer without the same problem occurring. When connecting a printer and therefore trying to add it, Windows does all the job in the background without you seeing many details.

This will help initiate installation with administrative privileges and potentially succeed in doing so.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN is a browser error preventing users from visiting some desired pages in Google Chrome. It has quite similar symptomatic traits to other connection issues such as ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED, and ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED as well. Users are oftentimes greeted with a message like "This site can't be reached" offering no working solution to get over the problem. All errors of this type do not have one single cause of appearance - there can be a number of different reasons striking each user. This list of potential reasons usually comes from issues with DNS and IP-Address performance which become evident when trying to establish a website connection. This can be therefore caused by software conflicts, wrong configuration settings, and other hiccups leading to problems with the connection. If you are sure that the URL address of the website you are trying to visit is typed correctly and no basic solutions result in success, feel free to follow our tutorial below for an advanced list of resolution methods.

Quite recently, hackers found a new Windows vulnerability to aid the penetration of systems with malware. The exploit is inherently related to MSDT (Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool) and allows cybercriminals to perform various actions by deploying commands through the PowerShell console. It was therefore called Follina and assigned this tracker code CVE-2022-30190. According to some reputable experts who researched this problem, the exploit ends up successful once users open malicious Word files. Threat actors use Word’s remote template feature to request an HTML file from a remote web server. Following this, attackers get access to running PowerShell commands to install malware, manipulate system-stored data as well as run other malicious actions. The exploit is also immune to any antivirus protection, ignoring all safety protocols and allowing infections to sneak undetected. Microsoft does work on the exploit solution and promises to roll out a fix update as soon as possible. We thus recommend you constantly check your system for new updates and install them eventually. Before that, we can guide you through the official resolution method suggested by Microsoft. The method is to disable the MSDT URL protocol, which will prevent further risks from being exploited until an update appears.

Error code 0x800f020b can be encountered in Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. It occurs when trying to update your system via Windows Update Center. It is usually owners of printers such as HP (Hewlett Packard) or Xerox that are likely to receive the error while installing updates. The reason for that is most likely a disconnected printer, which prevents the installation of necessary components for printing devices. Try to reconnect your printer and see if it helps install the update successfully. If there are some other external devices connected, do the same with them as well. Should the issue remain unsolved, follow the rest of the instructions in our article below. There are 7 more methods that may be able to help. Although it is considered ineffective by many, in-built Windows Troubleshooter abilities can sometimes address issues like the 0x80073712 error. Troubleshooter is a native Windows utility designed to find and remove existing problems in various segments. You can use it to detect update issues and try to fix them eventually.

The most obvious reason why you may be subject to facing the above-written message is that your system fails to verify the d3d12.dll file. DLL files stand for Dynamic Link Library and are very instrumental in maintaining the operation of both inbuilt and third-party Windows applications. When a file like that is missing or damaged, the message above can occur, preventing further access and use of the desired program respectively. In general, DLL errors are commonly encountered by many Windows users and not only in the latest version this article is dedicated to. Similar or even the same error message tends to occur on Windows 10, 8, and 7 only varying in file names that are missing. No matter which one of them you received, the way they are resolved is almost identical. Typically, problems with DLL occur due to the presence of malware, malfunctioned software, registry issues, and other less prominent causes as well. If you are a victim of being unable to open a specific program due to the d3d12.dll problem, follow our guide below to resolve it.
