Product: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi. 

 

I can't download the new HP printer drivers for LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw in Win11 S Mode.   It wants me to go to MS app store.

How do I bypass this without compromising my software security?

 

Thx!

Hi,

Windows 10 or 11 in S Mode only allow app store applications installation and usage, not native applications or drivers.

To install the HP full Feature Software you must switch out of S Mode, only then you may install any other HP Software than the HP Smart app.

 

Regards,

Shlomi

Hi, Shlomi.

Thanks for your response.  

I am fully aware of the prohibited downloads, however, doesn't getting out of S mode compromise my computer security, especially since it's permanent?  I've been trying to find a viable alternative, hence, my post.
