shockersh Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Just made a fresh install on a Windows 11 box and the stupid thing literally shows every single printer in my home. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? In fact, now I'm getting popups to install HP Smart or some other software to manage the HP printers in the house (which are in my daughter's room.) Anyway, just throwing this out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Steve Krause Posted November 16 Solution Report Share Posted November 16 Yeah, you can remove printers you don't want. Just follow these steps: 1 - Windows Key, Type Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & Scanners 2 - Click the Printer you want to remove 3 - Click Remove on the Printer Details menu That should do it for ya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Butts Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Another thing that might help....when you connect to a Wi-Fi network, Windows 11 asks if you want your PC to be discoverable on the network. I've found that saying "no" to this not only prevents the computer from showing up on other PCs, but it also cuts down considerably on the number of UPnP, Bonjour, and other variously connected devices from appearing.
