Windows 10: Microsoft Print to PDF File Date

Since the start of the new year, any time that I utilize the Microsoft Print to PDF printer option that can be located on my Windows 10 desktop, the time that the PDF is produced shows 1/1/2000 with whatever time after 00:00 AM based upon the first time the process is used on the computer. I'd assume this is some sort of glitch in the hardware that was caused when we went from 2019 to 2020, but this is simply an assumption as I don't know enough about how computers work on a technical level to confirm this to be so. Regardless, how do I fix it so that the printer will accurately show the date and time that a file has been produced when using the Microsoft Print to PDF function?

To give a little more information: The date and time on the computer is correct, and all other file creation processes such saving docs via office, or downloading pdfs from an email or website produce the accurate date and time when saved. I have only noticed this with the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer function via Windows 10.

Occasionally "Microsoft print to pdf" creates empty files

Have already done all of the steps suggested in that link.
The problem only happens occasionally; maybe two or three times a day.
Happening on several PC's, the only way to catch it before it goes to customers is the size of the file created.
If it is 0 or 1kb, it's a blank document.
Microsoft Print to pdf was working fine until about two weeks ago.
Thank You
