    Windows 10 can't enable Microsoft Print to PDF


    Recently noticed that Microsoft Print to PDF was no longer available as a Print option. One suggestion was to disable it and re-enable from "Turn Windows Features on or off".


    The turn on/off dialog box showed it enabled, so I disabled it - it reported success.


    When I try to re-enable, it says it is adding the feature, and then fails every time with error code 0x800F0922.

    MANY websites suggesting fixes to this error. I have tried:

    • Verifying my internet connection
    • Verifying the System Reserved EFI partition is not full 260MB free
    • Verifying the .NET Framework is completely turned on in Windows Features
    • Turning off the firewall
    • Ran sfc /scannow and dism... /Restorehealth
    • Ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter
    • Downloaded the latest Windows ISO image and installed a repair upgrade


    None of these made any difference.


    I tried installing Microsoft Print to PDF as a new printer print to FILE, and it fails with "Element not found".


    Any other ideas?

    :)

    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.

    Microsoft Print to PDF, troublesome T attribute

    Use BulkFileChanger (from Nirsoft) or PowerShell command to unset "T" attribute. More here:

    Windows Search Not Listing Microsoft Print to PDF Files - The Winhelponline Blog :

    MS Print to PDF adds the "T" (temporary) attribute when writing to PDF which causes Windows Search to skip the file.
