Default Printer in WVD

Hi everyone, Could Windows Virtual Desktop not save the default printer of a user session? After every new login, the setting is wrong I thank you for every useful tip Regards Andy

Have anyone tried the fix from the RDS enviroment:

Add the following registry key on the RD-Servers:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider

REG_DWORD: RemovePrintersAtLogoff

VALUE: 0

This will basically prevent the printers being removed each time the users log off/disconnect which will subsequently prevent the corruptions.

I have not tried that yet, did you use it in your environment?

Ok. Our hosting partner have opened a case with Microsoft regarding the issue.

Hope they find a solution.

I am having the issue in WVD as well, not in an RDS environment.

No i have not tried it. We have the same issue with default printer changing by itself. Our enviroment is however Windows Virtuel Desktop WVD and not RDS. The problem is the same.
