Windows 2022 - Let Windows manage my default printer box is UNCHECKED! Default printer keeps changing.

Question

DO NOT REPLY WITH A SUGGESTION TO UNCHECK THE BOX. The default printer keeps changing for users who log into this machine. I have seen other members of the community post this question and every post has someone answer to uncheck the box. Read. The box is not checked.
The server is a Windows 2022 RDS server. A dozen users access the RDS server and have profiles on the server. Their default printer keeps changing to a printer that is installed on the server as a local printer instead of the printers they have mapped through our print server.
Apologies to those who intend to be helpful . . . it's just very frustrating

Hello,

If you have checked the default printer Settings, try modifying the group policy to correct this phenomenon.

Navigate to the Group Policy editor. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection, select "Do not set the default client printer as the default printer in the session", and then select "Enabled".

Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the Group Policy incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the Group Policy before you modify it. For more information about how to back up and restore the group policy, refer to Backup and restore Group Policy in Windows.

I hope this helps.

Best regards
