Windows 10 1511 update

I updated one of my computers to this version and now the print dialog in theWORD will not show a preview nor will it print.
theWORD still works fine on computers pre Windows 10 1511 update.

That build is working fine for me.

Never mind I see it is not the build.

But in fact my default printer driver disappered so the default got set to SODA PDF 7 print driver which is not liked. So actually a case of the print driver not being liked. Which was fixed by switching the default to another printer. So it is working again.

And I just found out in a sense it is Windows 10 1511 fault which has this new setting:

“Let Windows manage my default printer” (This setting is in Settings>Devices and then scroll down)

This setting when on sets the default printer to the last used printer. Which must have been in my case a pdf printer.

So we may see this problem popping up a few more times.
