Windows 10: When right clicking pdf to print, printing starts instantly without opportunity to pick...

When I try to print something from the file explorer by right clicking it and left clicking print, unlike when I use google or notepad to print where they give me a pop up to choose settings, here it starts printing immediately and I can't pick if i want it colored or not etc, I turned on preview file before printing but that still only allows me to edit the sheet type and is very limited, I don't want to have to go to my settings and change them every time I print something, I have always print with Current Settings unticked.My printer is a Canon Pixma G3410

Thanks for your help. I was browsing the web the other day and I found a page called FINAL DRAFT. They had a set of instructions for reinstalling the Microsoft Print to PDF utility that worked great for me. Problem solved.
