I have done a recent re-install of Win 10 and consequently have gone through many updates. I have just noticed that if I use Control Panel or Settings to view my printers they appear just fine. But, if I use Explorer, it only shows the Folders, Devices and Drives (no printers), and Network. None of my printers are visible. This is a new problem. Is there some setting I need to correct?
 
Solution
Assuming your printers are working okay, there is nothing to worry about. My printer doesn't show in that Explorer window either (it never has) only the printer's built-in card reader.
