I can confirm joining the insider programme, and chosing the beta level the build that is being installed makes the dymo labelwriter work!

    Excellent news that the MS cogs are finally whirring ! And there now seems to be a working solution.
    However, I am mildly confused here.... I have the Preview Build 22621 which is the current Beta Channel (https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/05/11/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22621/). Which does not work correctly with Dymo LW450 Duo. I have managed to get it to spasmodically print a couple of both labels and tapes, but never both working at the same time and certainly not even reliable with just one or the other.

    It appears that Build 25126 is actually in the Dev Channel... (https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/05/25/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-25126/)

    Can anyone please just clarify - although it is obviously simple to move to the Dev Channel, it is not so easy to retreat back to the Beta or Release Preview Channels as a full clean install of Win11 is required....

    Many thanks,
    Best regards,
    Kevin

      KevinW switch to the dev build and when the next beta is released then you can select that in Windows channel again, that's normally what I do. 

       

      And now that my dymo works, i stil select beta, and leave beta at next full release. No reinstall needed that way

        cokeman - many thanks for the guidance 🙂 I have switched to the dev build and now have the tape printing OK, but despite fully uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and software, cannot get the label printer to work. Did your PC just recognise the LW450 Duo as the two discrete printers straight off or did you have to change anything to get it functioning OK ?

        Best regards,
        Kevin
