Microsoft Print to PDF not working/missing.
The Microsoft Print to PDF was not working on my PC so I tried reenabling it via Windows Features in Optional Features and it won't turn back on. It gives error code: 0x800f0922. I also tried other various methods online and none work. All end with various error codes which all result in the service not working/turning on. I even filed feedback about 2 weeks ago with no response yet. I contacted support, where I was recommended to perform a repair via ISO but was then canceled by the agent as I am on an Insider build. I am on build 26300.8687. This is a summary of my diagnostic from Gemini which I had used to try to solve my issue. Here is a summary of the diagnostic, tracking every command I executed in PowerShell and the specific roadblocks the Windows subsystem threw back. The Add-Printer Layer attempted to use modern PowerShell commands to register the printer onto both the interactive prompt port and the standard local file port. Commands Ran: PowerShell Add-Printer -Name "Microsoft Print to PDF" -DriverName "Microsoft Print to PDF" -PortName "PORTPROMPT:" Add-Printer -Name "Microsoft Print to PDF" -DriverName "Microsoft Print to PDF" -PortName "FILE:" * **Errors Faced:** * `ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_Printer:ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_Printer)` * `HRESULT 0x80070002,Add-Printer` --- ## 2. The Legacy PrintUI Layer To bypass the modern PowerShell cmdlet, I tried using the legacy Windows user interface print engine via standard command prompt syntax and escaped quotes. * **Commands Ran:** ```powershell cmd /c "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b `"Microsoft Print to PDF`" /r `"PORTPROMPT:`" /m `"Microsoft Print to PDF`"" rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Microsoft Print to PDF" /f "C:\Windows\System32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\prnms009.inf" /r "PORTPROMPT:" /m "Microsoft Print to PDF" Errors Faced: A graphical dialog box error: Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002). The system cannot find the file specified. The Deployment Script Layer (WMI/CScript) I tried deploying the printer using Windows’ built-in visual basic administrative scripts to side-step the user interface layer completely. Command Ran: PowerShell cscript $env:windir\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs -a -p "Microsoft Print to PDF" -m "Microsoft Print to PDF" -r "PORTPROMPT:" * **Errors Faced:** * `Unable to add printer Microsoft Print to PDF Error 0x80041002 Not found` * `Operation PutInstance` * `Provider Win32 Provider` * `Description The system cannot find the file specified. Win32 error code 2` Ultimately, every single command failed with an identical variation of **"File Not Found" (Error 2 / 0x80070002 / 0x80041002)**.Bluetooth earphones doesn't work in Windows 11
Some Bluetooth earphones (like Haylou GT1) don't work on Windows 11 and it was working perfectly on Windows 10. I think the problem with the drivers and especially with the earphone driver not with the Bluetooth driver because the Bluetooth works normally with the controllers. Just to let you know when I disable the "Haylou-GT1 Avrcp Transport" driver and keep the "Haylou-GT1" driver enable it sometimes works but with very bad quality sound so I am some kind of sure it's a driver problem and that driver provider is Microsoft so I think you can fix it. There is a lot of people who had the same problem, look at this link: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/report-an-issue/bluetooth-earphones-doesnt-work-in-windows-11/m-p/2554552 I contacted Microsoft support and they say: "Only our engineers have the access to its Windows 11" So they advised me to post in here in windows insider (I don't know why, I am not a Windows insider member, I just downloaded windows 11 when it's released for everyone.)
Can't install our app - "certificate in chain-of-trust is failing validation"
We've had a number of support incidents from users with Windows 11 Insider Preview reporting that they can't install our Windows Desktop app. Users with the retail release of Windows 11 (or Windows 10) do not experience this issue. Our (WiX) installer runs successfully until it gets to the driver installation step. Then it rewinds and quietly exits with no message popup or obvious error. Despite testing with a variety of different Insider Preview builds, we've so far been unable to reproduce the problem locally. Looking at a verbose setup log contributed by a user, I noticed the following: DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW DIFXAPP: INFO: RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0xE0000247) DIFXAPP: ERROR: encountered while installing driver package 'C:\Program Files\AcmeWidgets\WidgetApp\widget-driver.inf' DIFXAPP: ERROR: InstallDriverPackages failed with error 0xE0000247 DIFXAPP: RETURN: InstallDriverPackages() 3758096967 (0xE0000247) CustomAction MsiInstallDrivers returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 21:00:47: InstallFinalize. Return value 3. MSI (s) (50:CC) [...]: Note: 1: 2265 2: 3: -2147287035 Our driver is signed with a Digicert EV Code Signing Certificate: Certificate Certificate Order Common name Product Status Order date start date expiration expiration ------------- --------------- ------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Immersed Inc. EV Code Signing Issued 27 May 2020 28 May 2020 02 Jun 2022 02 Jun 2022 2 years While investigating, I also saw a message/description that mentioned a certificate in the chain-of-trust failing validation. I thought perhaps an intermediate CA cert might have been omitted from one of the Insider Preview builds, so I requested dumps of root, intermediate and third-party certs from a few affected users. My hope was to find a cert included in my test environment that was missing in all of theirs. No such luck, unfortunately; they all seem to have supersets of the certs I have in a fresh Insider Preview test installation. Can someone please respond with a suggestion on a path forward? Being unable to reproduce this in a test environment has me completely blocked. I'd really like to hear back from a Microsoft engineer on this. Thanks.There are many similar items in Optional Updates section and I don't know which one to install
in Device manager there are a 4 hardware that need drivers and in Windows update => Optional updates section, there are 7 drivers listed but I don't know which one I am supposed to install. there needs to be more information there to tell us exactly which one to install. there are even drivers listed there with the date 1970!
