Windows 10: Multiple Instances of Single Printer

I recently added my printers to a new computer running Windows 10. For some reason each one is showing multiple instances of the drivers in the various settings. Trying to figure out why and how to get rid of the extra versions that are not needed.

Windows Multiple Desktop Auto Switching (for single instance apps)

Hi Marvin,

Thank you for replying.

I understand that you want a new instance of application to open when you access the application in Multiple Desktops. However, certain applications only allow single instance, that is the reason the application gets moved between the Multiple Desktops.

However, we always appreciate our customer’s feedback, and your feedback and suggestions are very important to us. Hence, I suggest you to provide your valuable feedback and ideas in our

Feedback Hub, where our developers can look into the requests and constantly improve the features of Windows.

How to open multiple images in same instance of Photo Viewer?

Rather than use Photos I changed the Open with to Windows Photo Viewer then double-clicking a file in Pictures opened in Windows Photo Viewer which let me click the arrow to step through all the images in that Folder.
