Edge crashes every time I try to "print" to PDF
Every time I print to PDF in Edge (Windows 11), it crashes Edge.
When will this be fixed?

I was having the same problem. In my situation I also has Adobe Acrobat 2020 installed which also has a "print to .pdf" function.
I found the below recommendation from a poster named Mario on another thread which is now locked. The recommendation to turn the feature of, restart, then turn it on again did not work for me, but going back in and simply turning it off and leaving it off, then restarting my computer did work. Evidently the Microsoft print to .pdf is conflicting with the Adobe Acrobat print to .pdf function.
I'm sure there are other ways to deconflict these two processes, but this is what worked for me. If for any reason I decide to remove Adobe Acrobat from my computer, I will need to remember to turn that feature back on.
Best of luck, see below;
Try turning this mode off and on again to see if it will work.
To do this, follow these steps.
-Press Windows + R keys and type: Control
-Press OK or ENTER
-Click on "Programs and Features" (If your window is configured by "category" click on "uninstall a program".)
-Click on "turn windows features on or off windows 10"
-In the new box, scroll the windows and uncheck "Microsoft Print to PDF"(I stopped here, but the instructions go on to say...)
-Press OK and don't forget to reboot your pc.
-Then start again, but this time check the box and reboot the pc again.Here's the link to the full thread. The other recommendation in this thread did not work for me either.
