    Why is the fast new os so slow when it comes to opening devices and printers?

    Maybe needs an update of drivers for your printer.

    There are nearly 12 printers including virtual printers. I don't think that's it. Win broke it.

    Hi sussertown. Open the services window and make sure the Bluetooth Support Service is set to Automatic and is Started and see if the same problem occurs.

    W10 did not break any of my 5 Upgrades!!!
    I must admit I don't run 12 printers :eek:
    What version of W10 are you running? You haven't filled in your System Details.

    Or my 5 either - or any of the dozens of others I am responsible for - except one client who had a very old laser printer. But he knew that was going to happen so it was expected, and an excuse to get a new printer.

    I don't have 12 printers either but I do have 3 and 1 is an multi-function device (fax, printer, copier, and scanner) and it works just fine too.

    You need to visit the website for each of those printers and make sure you have the latest W10 driver for it - if W10 drivers are available. If not, that is the printer maker's fault, not Windows.

    And in addition to the above requested information, you need to say how you connect to these printers. All of mine are via my network and each of my 5 computers have no problems printing to or scanning from any of them.
