Problem with renaming a network printer on windows 10

Hello,

We realize your concern in this regard.

I see you telling that you have problem with renaming the printer. Really not sure under which tab you're trying to do that. When you install a new printer, Windows typically names it after the manufacturer or model. Usually, you can able to rename the printer
by following the below procedure.

To rename a printer:

• 
  Click Start button, type Devices and Printers
  and select same from the list.
  
• 
  Right-click a printer, and then click Printer properties.
  
• 
  Click the General tab, and then type the new name in the text box.
  
• 
  Click Apply/OK.
  

However, to rename a printer, you must have permission to manage the printer. You probably have permission if you installed the printer. If you're on a corporate network, you might need to ask your system administrator. To check your printer permissions,
right-click your printer, click Printer properties, click the
Security tab, and then click your user name.

Let us know how it went.

Windows 11 file moving after renaming

In previous version of Windows, I would rename a file, and click on the next file, to stay in the same position in the list. However, I've found with Windows 11, when I rename a file, and click on the next file, it follows the renamed file to the new position in the list. This is very annoying when renaming a batch of files.
