Why does microsoft insist on making their printer default?..I have to practically force it use my brother printer, by deleting theirs after every update. It's getting to be bloody annoying.

Go to settings, Bluetooth and devices, then printer preferences

These are the printers I have listed, only 2 of the devices are actual printers. Usually a print job will default to the one set in Devices and Printers but sometimes a program will go to the one last used.

First, why are you still using that POS Windows Update? It's forever screwing with something!!!
I just turn that off!

Then if there are any devices listed that I don't want or use, I delete those.
