This is a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, and not an upgrade.
I suspect it was caused by a Windows update, but since Windows 10 updates are mandatory and can't easily be excluded, even if I uninstall the last updates in the Installed Updates list, they come back the minute I reboot, and I can't hide them like I could in Windows 7. This used to work before (although I can't pinpoint when exactly as I don't use it often enough). User access Control is also disabled (slider all the way down) and my account type is administrator.
I have a network printer installed which is working fine. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall both printers (using the "Turn Windows features on or off" panel), with a reboot in between, but that didn't fix the issue. If I try to print a test page using the Printer properties panel of each virtual printer, it gives me an error saying "Test page failed to print." and proposes me to use the troubleshooter (which I did and it found nothing). The Windows Event Viewer doesn't show any error either. The directory where I save the file does not have any special characters in it (no comma), and I have full admin access to it. When I look at the directory where the file was supposed to be created, there is nothing, not even a zero-byte file.
The dialog window disappear, no error is shown, and nothing else happens. Whenever I try to print a document using either one, it prompts a file dialog for me to pick a filename and location, and when I click OK to print, it does nothing. For some time on my Windows 10 desktop PC, neither does the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" nor the "Microsoft Print To PDF" virtual print drivers seem to work.
