If you don’t like this behavior either, just change this option to Off.īonus tip: Printers & Scanners settings provides only basic printer controls: You can add new printers here, but there’s little in the way of printer configuration. I happen to find that annoying, and disable this option. But I sometimes print to PDF as well-a feature that debuted in the initial release of Windows 10-and when I do so, the default now changes from my Dell printer to Microsoft Print to PDF. In my case, the Dell printer is indeed the printer I’d like to use as my default. I’ve found this setting to be undesirable. When left on its default setting of On, Windows 10 will always configure the default printer to be the most recently-used printer. “Let Windows manage my default printer” is new to Windows 10 version 1511.
Here, you can see two relevant items: The top printer, Dell 3130cn Color Laser, is marked as “last used.” And the option “Let Windows manage my default printer” is set to On. To understand what’s happening, consider Printer & Scanners settings, which you can find in available in Settings, Devices. Note: This tip is derived from my new e-book, Windows 10 Field Guide, which is now available for purchase from LeanPub.
This may not desirable, especially if you use different printers, or occasionally “print” files to PDF. By default, Windows 10 quietly reconfigures your default printer every time you print.
