We are developing UWP application C# to handle printers. We need to open any one of the printer's printing preference page from our application. If we use shellexecute or createprocess to launch the command "rundll32.exe with printui.dll,PrintUIEntry, /p "printer name" " we are able to show. But when we publish the app, Windows App certificate kit shows error like

Blocked executables

  • Error Found: The blocked executables test has detected the following errors:
    • File PrintingPreference.exe contains a reference to a "Launch Process" related API kernel32.dll!CreateProcess

Is there any way to show printing preference from UWP app?
