    How to install the Microsoft Print To PDF driver with Windows 10 audit mode


    Dear Support Team or advisors, I have a issue about the Microsoft Print To PDF feature with the audit mode of Windows 10 1909 version, and newer.


    What I do:


    1. Install the windows with the offical ISO

    2. When the set region interface OOBE shows, press Ctrl+Shift+F3, then the system restart and logon the desktop by adit mode with Administrator account

    3. In the Device manager, can not find Microsoft Print To PDF. Open the "Turn Windows feature on or off", uncheck "Microsoft Print To PDF" and confirm. Re-open the "Turn Windows feature on or off", check "Microsoft Print To PDF" and confirm, the Microsoft Print To PDF printer shows in the Device manager. However, if I print test page or any document with this printer, it shows me a dialog with "Handle is invalid" message.

    4. If I remove the Microsoft Print To PDF printer, then add printer manually, the Microsoft Print To PDF printer driver is not shown in the Microsoft manufacturer list.


    I think there is something wrong with the step 2. If the system logs in the audit mode, some device drivers may not be installed. Because if I don't press Ctrl+Shift+F3 and complete the OOBE, all is OK with the Microsoft Print To PDF printer. So, my question is, how to install the Microsoft Print To PDF driver if the windows has completed the installation and logs in the audit mode?


    Thanks to all of you.

    :)

  2. unable to select Microsoft Print to PDF, as the driver is not available

    I have been unable to install/repair Microsoft Print to PDF. After working my way through several online suggestions, including:

    SFC scan, DISM scan, making sure .NET framework was enabled, using the windows 10 update troubleshooter and resetting the windows update components I was finally able to activate Microsoft Print to PDF within the "Turn Windows features on and off" only after
    I turned off the print spooler. Then and only then was I able to select the Microsoft Print to PDF in the windows features and then have it successfully load.

    The problem now is that if I go into add device and then select printer not listed and try to add a new local printer, if I select Microsoft as the printer, the option of Print to PDF is not listed. In other words, the driver for Microsoft Print
    to PDF is not listed as an option
    . Any help on how to reinstall/repair this?

    thanks,

    How to install the Microsoft Print To PDF driver with Windows 10 audit mode

    Microsoft Print to pdf

    I use Sibelius Software and recently the Microsoft Print to pdf hasn't been working properly. In looking for a solution it was suggested that I remove it from the computer and reinstall the driver etc. It looked easy to do. I followed the steps as told (way
    4)

    [Solved] Microsoft Print to PDF Not Working on Windows 10 - Driver Easy

    But when I started the process of reinstalling it in 'add devices and printers' and came to the bit about chosing a device I wasn't offered 'The printer that I want isn't listed' option, but instead it said 'can't find what you're looking for' and when I
    pressed that link it took me to a Microsoft page about Bluetooth. I'm not sure how to get round this?

    How can I reinstall the pdf printer?

    Thanks!
