Interactive Services detection error 0x0000070a

Question

I updated the windows updates last night and today I have been getting the Interactive Services Detection popping up and I get the message Another Printer or Printer Share with this name already exists. I have tried removing printers but they won't remove and just have the trouble shoot option but nothing is found.

I even tried restoring to a previous point but it didn't work!

Answer 1

At first I wasn't able to remove the printers at all. I eventually was about to force the printers to delete. Once I did that and rebooted the ISD message window no longer reappeared. Reinstalled the printers and now everything appears to be fine.

Answer 2

I have removed all of the printers, except one that cannot be removed for some reason. When I try to remove the device, it says, "Access is denied, unable to remove device." Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Answer 3

I am having this exact same problem, and it has been going on for a long time now. I can't seem to get the message to stop coming up, and I can't remove either of the printers causing the problems either. How did you force delete your printers??

Answer 4

Inky,

1.  Which  Interactive Services Detection popping up is that?

2.  Are you able to print now?

3.  what happened when you tried to remove printer?
