  1. Can't open or print saved documents or files


    Ever since the recent Windows 10 Update, I can no longer open or print any documents or files at all. If I try to open or print it says I don't have an app to perform this . . ? I am at a loss. I have never not been able to open a document.

    :)

    Printing to XPS no longer opens document prior to saving

    Thanks, Arul.

    Unfortunately, this doesn't help. In Windows 7, when I would use xps document printer, it would ask for a name and place to save the document. When I gave the document a name and then printed, the document would automatically open. (See step 3 at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/print-to-xps-document-writer#1TC=windows-7)


    I can't seem to make this happen in Windows 10. It doesn't matter whether I choose to save as .xps or .oxps - the document will not open automatically. I don't know what the previous version of XPS Document Writer was in Windows 7. In Windows 10 it is Microsoft
    XPS Document Writer v4.

    Thanks,

    Nancy

  3. Darned green check marks adjacent to new saved documents

    I've been reading the issues related to those green check marks in front of saved documents but solutions suggested are not working for me, and now I can't print a financial document - just view - and there is no issue with my printer connectivity because
    I can print a test page via Windows and it prints fine. I could care less about the "cloud" for saving documents - I want to save documents ONLY to my PC which I back up manually.

    How do I stop getting documents sent to the crazy "cloud" and just to my personal files on my PC ? Microsoft shouldn't be taking control of where I keep my files. I tried right clicking on the document to try to save it to my recent files list and I don't
    get that option on the list provided. Can't get rid of the green arrows and can't print important documents.

    How do I fix this ???????

    Can't open or print saved documents or files

    0 documents file print

    Thanks Berton,
    I predifine my printer as default.
    Then I order to print and what hapens is that the document enter into waiting list file to print in my device.
    Next, past few seconds disapears and the waiting list turns nothing to print.
    I catch the properties of the document to print before it disapear. But I get no clue of about.

    Thanks
