Microsoft is working on a fix for a known issue impacting Windows 11 customers and causing a prompt for admin credentials before every attempt to print.
According to Microsoft, this problem impacts Windows environments where the print clients and print servers are in different time zones.
"You might receive a prompt for administrative credentials every time you attempt to print in environments in which the print server and print client are in different times zones," the company explains.
Microsoft also confirmed other Windows 11 known issues which caused printers installation to fail on systems in enterprise environments last week.
As Redmond explained, printer installation processes may fail when attempted over the network on devices that access printers via print servers using HTTP connections.
Last week, Microsoft confirmed a third known issue leading to custom printing properties not being correctly provided to print clients.
