Episode 77 of The Windows Podcast digs into a change that IT admins are only now starting to feel: Windows 11 is quietly requiring printer drivers to run in isolated mode. Lucas explains why this breaks legacy drivers, how Microsoft's print architecture shift cuts down on blue screens, and what a 'stop 0x00000050' crash taught one enterprise. Luna asks about the pain of migrating from vendor-specific drivers to Microsoft's IPP class driver — and whether this is really about security or just forcing everyone to buy new printers. Specific data point: over 60% of Windows enterprise print queues still use Type 3 or Type 4 vendor drivers, which will fail under isolation by default in the 25H2 update expected later this year. The episode also touches on print server removal, the end of 'Point and Print' for non-admins, and how this all ties into Microsoft's zero-trust roadmap. #Windows11 #WindowsPodcast #EnterpriseIT #PrinterDriverIsolation #PrintNightmare #IPPClassDriver #MicrosoftPrint #ITAdmin #ZeroTrust #DeviceSecurity #PrintServer #Windows25H2 #DriverCompatibility #TechPodcast #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
