Windows 10: Labelwriter 400 desktop Icon and software ...where is it ?

Downloaded the software direct from manufacturers website for labelwriter 400 label printer ....software downloads to desktop Ok and appears to install software Ok also as when I look into control panel printers I see the installed label writer as installed and can even print a test label without issue ... but where is the rest of the software ? Its not on the desktop nor in the list of installed software as an icon when pressing the windows Icon ? without it I cannot enter data to input what I need printing on the labels ..... very odd , never had any issues with windows 7 or XP so why now? I am running windows 10 version 1903 OS build 18.362.535 any help guidance appreciated
PS : I have tried removing and installing the software twice ], even tried a repair, but the same issue remains ?

Dymo 400 Labelwriter - how do I get this to work with my recently installed Windows 10?

Hi Vivienne

My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

I noticed there is only Windows 7 and Windows Vista. You could try installing that driver in compatibility mode:

Remove Linux Desktop Icons

I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

 

Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put

Hi Laurie,

As per the issue description I understand that you are facing issues with desktop icons.

I suggest you try the following step in order to arrange the icons.

• Right click on the desktop.
• Click on view
• Check the option auto arrange icons.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks.
