    Local Group Policy Editor Microsoft XPS Document Writer xps extension


    Anyone know why this particular group policy edit setting quit working after the W10 v1803 update? It is not a big deal I just have a lot of xps files and really do not want to start mixing oxps files with them. The 1803 update did not restore the original gpedit defaults and the other mods I have made have stuck since I upgraded to W10. I did a restart and gpupdate in command prompt to no avail.

  2. xpsport as a filename

    Yes, when using XPS Document Writer to print it names the file xpsport with no extension.

    If I rename the file and give it the extension .xps I can then read it. I've used XPS Doc.

    Writer in 8.1 with no problem. After updating to W10 every time I use XPS Doc. Writer

    I have to give the document a meaning full name with .xps extension to read it. I've been

    through the deleting and adding the XPS Doc. Writer and driver several times with no

    change. I don't understand how the port name winds up as the file name.
