Hi,

I totally agree, but this is a default in WIndows 10. I don't know if this is still the case with new installations, but at start this was the default.

It is an option in the printer settings of Windows 10. See https://www.thewindowsclub.com/default-printer-keeps-changing-windows to change this behaviour.

Best regrds,
