[1903, au] Anyone Else's Printers Keep Dropping Off?

[JRA]

Must admit this has been a little bit of a pickle and come in with W10; when we were mixed W7/W10 this wasn't an issue, so I'm thinking W10 has to be the culprit.

 

If a PC is left logged on overnight it'll often need a restart to pick up the printers again. Also sometimes (though certainly not all the time) printers will just not apply and need another log off/on to appear.

 

Is this "a thing" that's been overcome somewhere by people or is it just W10 awfulness?

 

Printers apply through GP ofc, user policies and set in prefs.

 

Thanks everybody for any musings.

Cheers, yes I'd say a little more frequently here, maybe one or two tickets a day, then none for a day, then one or two etc.

 

Restart, log off/on or if I'm feeling whimsical a gpupdate /force /boot sorts them.

Windows 10 builds 1903, 1909 and most likely 2004 (I haven't even tested) are just awful. The amount of issues users experience and the amount of issues I read online.

 

To cut a long story short, I recently imaged a number to 1607 (LTSB) and magically issues just disappear.

Yes WoL breaking utterly slew us. Another "feature" I could have gladly karate kicked Microsoft for.
