Windows 10: How do I keep 22H2 off my Win 11 Home edition

I have an HP Envy desktop, 12th gen i9-12900 which I purchased with Win 11, 21H2 Home edition. Unfortunately, shortly after purchasing it, windows update install 22H2.I want to do a factory reset, which would take me back to 21H2, but how do I do it without microsoft installing 22H2 when it checks for updates?

Cant connect Network Printer on win 11 22H2.

Hi there,

It's a known issue in Windows 11 22H2. This error occurs because the default connection method has changed in 22H2. Altering a setting in the Group Policy Editor resolves the issue.

Fix: Printer Error 0x00000bc4 or 0x00000709 in Windows 11 22H2:

For Windows 11 Home Edition, try the registry edit (equivalent to the Group Policy setting) mentioned on the above page:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC]

There are 2 values that can be configured:

RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol REG_DWORD

0: RpcOverTcp (default)

1: RpcOverNamedPipes



Set "RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol" to 1 and reboot the computer.



Also, see Eko Suprianto's post here for the additional settings if your Windows 11 22H2 is acting as the host (i.e., print server)

win 11 22h2 update printer issue

This worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

Win 11 22H2 Pro was host, Win 10 clients was having error connecting with 0x00000709. Doing the additional steps you mentioned resolved the entire problem even though RPC was enabled at first.

 

win 11 22h2 update printer issue

Exactly the same issue as Win 10 print nightmare patch- I was able to browse to printer using ip on Win 10 but that doesn't work (permission issue?) on Win 11 home 22h2! The suggestion to reload windows is laughable as this happens right from brand new!
