USB printers print garbage, AppLocker kiosks broken

February’s Patch Tuesday continued the USB printer saga — dual-mode printers kept printing random garbage text and network commands instead of actual documents, a bug that had been reported since at least January and wouldn’t be fixed until late March. AppLocker rules stopped working on multi-app kiosk configurations, breaking enterprise digital signage and shared terminals. OpenSSH still refused to start, a gift that kept giving since October 2024. Four months of a broken SSH service on a modern operating system.
