Windows 10: Windows 10 printer custom change setting

I use Windows 10 Pro with my HP Laserjet Pro MFP M426fdw for over two years, and it seem that there were some changes that was made in the "print confirmation" screen where the "custom" where you can select what pages get printed, now you have to selected "All" or "Custom" in a drop down. By adding this "extra" step, it slows my productive down alittle. Wonder why the change this to a drop drop option?
