If you get this message Operation could not be
completed(error 0x00000709). Double click the printer
name and make sure that the printer is connected to the
network when you fail to set your printer as the default
one, you’re not alone.

Many Windows users are reporting this problem as well.
But no worries, it’s possible to fix.

IMPORTANT: Modifying the registry in your computer could
cause irrecoverable error if the modification is done
incorrectly, therefore, it is very important for you to back up
your registry first.

1) Click the Start button, then type regedit and press Enter.

If User Account Control comes up, please chose Yes at the
prompt.

2) Follow the path

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows.

3) Double-click Device. Type in your printer name. (The
screen shot here is an example only.)

Click OK to save the change.

Note: If you encounter this sort of error “Cannot edit
Device: Error writing the value’s new contents“, please
follow the steps below to set the permission of the key.

a) Right-click the Windows key on the left side of the panel
and then click Permissions....

b) Tick the box Allow for Full Control and Read, then
click Apply and click OK to save the change.

4) Right-click UserSelectDefault and click Rename to
rename it as your printer name.

There you go! You should be able to set up your default
printer now!

Part 2: 20 most-used Run Commands for Windows 10 users

A Run Command is not simply the name of an app/program, Windows designs a great many specialized Run commands. Here we illustrate the twenty most commonly used.

1. control

This is a Run Command to quickly access Windows 10 Control Panel. However, some users are used to open the Control Panel by Start menu or Windows 10 Power user menu.

2. taskmgr

This is a Run Command to open Task Manager as quickly as by right-clicking on the blank area of Windows 10 taskbar.

There are more options to open Command Prompt in Windows 10, this command is just one of shortcuts.

4. netplwiz

-
Windows run commands are shortest ways to reach at any particular setting panel or open any useful applications. Although Microsoft has made taskbar search very much efficient in doing that, but you can not find each and everything via taskbar search. Also searching something in search box of taskbar and then clicking on the search result is one step longer as compared to opening it via run. Also, opening something via run box seems geeky and cool. For example very few people know that you can reach control panel directly by typing control in run box or you can directly open on screen keyboard by typing osk in run box. I have listed here all the important run commands in windows 10.
