how this is still a problem 5+ months later is my question!

I have a post on MS's forums for this very issue.

You can use the tab key in the modern Settings app to get to the buttons and set as desired.
Otherwise, as Dustin said, you can use the old school Control Panel Printers applet.

Dustin didn't say that. the OP did.

This also seems random as to when it is hitting.

Almost all my client systems are clean Windows 10 installs, then chocolatey setup, then, sometimes Office.

Yet it is a seemingly random chance that this bug is in play.

@JaredBusch That's what I'm seeing as well.

[Dashrender]

Agreed - it is very random.

Doesn't matter if it's 1809 (any old version really) upgraded to 1903, or fresh install of 1903 - it's just random who it hits.

My installs are close to JBs, a bit more

Windows
Chocolatey

Office
Dymo label software

@Dashrender I'm not using Chocolatey so you can cross that common denominator out.

However, now that I'm looking at it, I'm about to binge read that whole web page. So thanks for that.

• Windows
• Office 2019
• Adobe Reader
• a not too heavy Group Policy
• DameWare
• Anti-Asshole software

Could be an Office thing? Has anyone tested uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ versions?

What is that?

[G I Jones]

@Dashrender Eh, long story about Ransomware, a 3 month old backup, and how I took part in building an entire domain from the ground up. Good training. Pissed employees. Budget approved the purchase request after that though!

so it's anti-ransomware software?

[G I Jones]

@Dashrender Yes. Yes it is.
