Carestream - Radiography - Windows updates causing problems - patch instructions

Overview

Our Support team has received a number of calls from offices that are unable to acquire radiographs using Carestream sensors. Our developers have investigated and found the cause to be a recently released Windows Update installed on September 8, 2020. The Update numbers are KB4571756 and KB4576478. There is a third update from October 12, 2020 which is KB4579311. There is a fourth update from November 11, 2020 which is KB458678. The fifth update is KB4592438. Sixth was installed on 1/14 that update is KB4598242. Seventh update installed on 2/15 is KB4601319. 

If you are using Carestream sensors, we would recommend pausing Windows Updates until these issues have been resolved. Reboot your computer and test.
