Microsoft XPS Document Writer Download for Windows 10

Hi Katherine,

Hit Windows key + R together, enter: optionalfeatures

Just check once more to see if the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" exists, at least it pops up on my Windows 10 with 1803. Check that if not already, click OK. Now we need to bring back the XPS Viewer.

Go to Start, look for "Apps & features", then click that. In the new window under Apps & features, click Manage optional features. Click "Add a feature", then look for XPS Viewer, and click the Install button that pops up.

If this doesn't work at all, please provide me with your Windows 10 edition (Home, Pro, Enterprise), and I can look into this further for you.

Let me know.

This worked perfectly for me. Downloaded the zip file and followed the KB instructions. Worth repeating here:

File download found here -- just click download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Zv87UX9gSKLV9ud3c1ZFAtcjA/view

Instructions: I followed them with following exceptions -- ignore Windows 7, worked for Windows 10. I could not remove the XPS printer because it was not there. I just ignored that and went to Add printer. All else I followed and XPS was installed.
