Windows 10 - will not map network connection

Post by RWAP »

If you are running a Windows 10 PC you may find that you cannot map the retro-printer as a network connection.

This only appears to affect fresh installs of Windows 10, rather than those who upgraded to Windows 10 from earlier versions!

The answer is to:

a) Enter into the Windows search bar: gpedit.msc to launch the Group Policy Editor
If you are running Windows 10 Home, this is not installed - see https://www.itechtics.com/enable-gpedit ... s-10-home/

b) Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > (the name of your PC)

c) Open "Enable insecure guest logons" and choose Enabled

That should then work
