Schedule/.bat template for disabling Win10 printer management
I'm so frustrated by Windows 10 constantly changing the default printer, and changing the setting that allows it to do so, but I admit whilst I've experience in scheduling tasks and running basic .bat files, the solution offered over at BeepingComputer is a bit out of my league. I would've amended the vbs script offered, however I'm not certain the UNC path it uses/is predicated upon would work - it is a network printer - but I installed using its IP (and navigating to the registry path it contains there is no
like in his example, just the printer name).Code:\\
So to sum up I'm asking if anyone could possible provide a template/instructions on how I'd achieve the solution offered at the link above - that is, to schedule a task that runs a .bat to check to see if the Default Printer is set to my preferred printer and if not change it back (it seems a ridiculous thing to have to ask, but there we are).
Thanks in advance.
