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?

    I have Edge Version 124.0.2478.67 (Official build) (64-bit) installed. There are no updates available. Since the last update, Edge crashes when saving a .pdf file, whether one saves by clicking on the "Save as" icon or "Microsoft Print to PDF" or "Save as PDF" in the print dialogue.

    You would think that this bug would have been fixed by MS, given that users have been complaining about it for some years.

    I can confirm that if you chose "Microsoft Print as PDF" instead of "Save as PDF" in the Print option Page the functionality works.

    Have you tried reinstalling Chrome? Similar issue has happened and continues to happen to me with various pieces of software. A reinstall is the ultimate solution that works for those cases.

    I'd like to move to Chrome but for several months now Chrome keeps crashing. It opens and then closes almost immediately. I've tried to find a fix for this problem but so far no success.
