Windows 10: Print Dialog from DEFAULT Windows 10 Apps shows 0x8007007e

Windows 10 x64, Latest Version (all updates installed)
sfc /scannow - no errors

If I try to print to ANY printer (e.g., local, microsoft print to pdf) FROM A WINDOWS 10 DELIVERED APPLICATION I get the error

"Your printer has experienced an unexpected configuration problem 0x8007007e."

Examples: One Note, Paint, Edge

This is NOT a problem with the printers, because i can print to the same printers from non-delivered applications, like Chrome, Visual Studio Code, or Notepad (which is an older application).

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

When I try to print from a Windows App (e.g. Mail, Edge) the pritn dialog does not appear

I can print successfully from desktop apps (like IE, word etc), but I'm completely unable to print from Windows 10 apps such as edge or Windows Mail. The first time I hit CTRL+P I see very briefly a window outline pop up and then disappear again (in less
than a second). I presume this is the print dialog box, but it doesn't appear so I am unable to print. I have tried minimising all windows to see if the dialog is hidden somewhere, but it's nowhere to be found. subsequent attempts to print (CTRL+P) do nothing
- not even a flash of the dialog.

I've tried running the Printing Troubleshooter and changing default printer to PDF.

I'm using Windows 10 Home Edition.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.
