Word just freezes when I click on the print tab, or try to save anything as a pdf
Hello, so I have been facing this very weird problem, but when I try to click "Print" in the option below, my word just freezes, before it closes the document and then reopens word, asking me to open up a document. The same thing happens if I try to save the document as a PDF, or if I try to change the layout of my document by let's say changing the margin size
I have already used the quick repair and online repair options, disabled and re-enabled my Microsoft Print to PDF driver, installed all updates, restarted my laptop multiple times, tried running word in safe mode, but the situation hasn't improved. It isn't a document problem, since the problem still persists for a blank document.
Would anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?
