Windows 10: (Latest Windows 10) No Default Windows App can Print (0x8007007e

I get this message when I send a pdf to my printer our printer has expected an unexpected configuration problem 0x8007007e"


I updated everything, uninstalled and reinstalled everything, restarted; all repeatedly and I have followed the thread for this problem with Pencilboy99, but still have the problem.


What can I do???

(Latest Windows 10) No Default Windows App can Print (0x8007007e

Recently I cannot print from any built-in windows app to any printer (local, Microsoft Print to PDF). Regardless of what printer I choose it says "Your printer has experienced an unexpected configuration problem 0x8007007e."

These same printers work fine if I use a non-Windows 10 built in app, like notepad or chrome or visual studio code.

I get this exact error with stuff like OneNote Windows 10 or Edge or Paint.

 

Windows 10 forgets default apps

I have noticed like not 5mins ago that Winamp just got kicked out of my default apps list in Windows 10 Pro.
I installed this installation not max 3 weeks ago with fresh downloaded Windows 10 Pro using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, is there a way to fix this bcs I using sfc /scannow don't do a lot for me and I have run it before on this installation.

Before u ask, I have fully updated my Windows 10 with all non-insider/beta updates.

The only thing I have disabled is the uac prompt that popup when u need admin for applications to run bcs it's simply annoying.

I don't remember having all these problems with Windows 8.1 Pro when i was using that and I am really thinking about going back so I can have "fully control" over Windows again with like disabling all the admin crap bcs I feel like it's messing more up and makes things less useful in Windows 10 with all these small problems I have and I read a lot of ppl having problems with various things time and time again where they needed to reinstall Win10 over and over to get it to work fully.

Any advice on how I can get Windows 10 to just work as a "daily driver" without all these small annoying things? *Frown

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
