Windows 10: MS Paint Change Page Setup Problems.

If I change Page setup in MS Paint to Portrait I get the following message



"Paint has stopped working

A problem has caused the program to stop working Correctly

etc etc......"

This even happends if I just start Ms Paint and go straight to Print, Page Setup, Portrait without loading an image but of course also happends with an image started or loaded.

:)

 

How do I change the paint page setup defauts?

Hi Laurie,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



The issue could occur if correct settings is not selected.

To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

• When you say that "orientation default from landscape to portrait, and also change the margin defaults", are you referring to making orientation change from landscape to portrait for printer page setup?

1. Open Paint app.

2. Then click on File.

3. Under Printer option, select
Page setup.

4. Then choose Portrait and click on
Ok.

5. Try to change margin settings accordingly.
