PDF problems after last windows 11 update

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your question. You mentioned that after installing the latest update, you’re no longer able to print PDFs or send them through email, and that when one action works, the other stops working. That kind of inconsistent behavior can definitely interrupt your workflow.

Recent Windows 11 updates including those for version 24H2 have introduced known issues affecting the Microsoft Print to PDF feature. In some updates, the Print to PDF option disappears, becomes unusable, or shows errors such as 0x800f0922, preventing Windows from reinstalling the feature correctly. Microsoft has acknowledged this behavior in their update documentation and confirmed that certain cumulative updates temporarily break PDF printing functionality.

Microsoft has already released fixes in newer preview updates such as KB5060829, and these patches restore the Print to PDF feature for affected systems. These will also be included automatically in the next scheduled Patch Tuesday release. Installing the latest cumulative or preview update typically restores normal operation.

If you prefer not to install optional preview updates, a temporary workaround is to manually re-enable the "Microsoft Print to PDF" feature through Windows Features or PowerShell, though Microsoft notes this may still fail until the fix is installed.

May I also ask have you already checked for and installed the latest Windows cumulative update, especially the KB5060829 preview or the most recent Windows Update available on your device?

If you’d like, I can walk you through checking your update version or help you try the workaround steps. Just let me know what happens after installing the most recent updates, and I’ll be glad to help you further.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Noel
