I have a problem with printing from the latest version of Microsoft Edge. When I select some text on the browser and choose Print → 'Save As Pdf', the download starts but never finishes. How can I fix this? Is this a common issue for all the users of the latest version of Edge?

I have tried restating the PC, Resetting the browser, stopping all the extension etc. to fix it. but it doesn't work? Should I switch to Chrome?

    Select file, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, cancel download, rename copied file.

    If I try to change the .crdownload file to .pdf it says it can't because the file is still open.

    If I cancel the download the file dissappears so I can't try this workaround.
