Windows 10 1903 can't manage a printer

While continuing to work on this -since I could see the Manage box, I decided to try to tab to it, and it worked.  I pressed enter with it highlighted and I was able to manage it.

Now my goal was to set it as default, the set as default button was missing.  After some searching around, I realized that the "Let Windows manage my default printer" box had become rechecked.  After unchecking it, and once again using the tab trick to get into manage the MS Print to PDF feature, I was able to set it as the default printer.

So I've found a work-a-round, but the display issue is still there so I don't consider the issue resolved.

Interesting - I'm fine with the belief that it's a permission issue, but not sure why that folder would affect the display settings. 

Just a reminder - all functionality is there if you use tab to get to the buttons and then ENTER to activate the button, the issue is completely around display.

My Windows 10 system was one version back, working ok for the most part..  this issue did not exist but then I had a brain wave to do a FRESH START to address some other things.  Looks like 1903 got installed and now I cant manage the printers.  When I try to click on the "manage" button it slides away downward almost like a virus would do in the old days back on windows XP.

So another possible fix does not work.. a FRESH START will not fix this problem as it is built into the Windows 10 OS.  Rather it causes the problem if you did not have it.  Best to try and SKIP Ver 1903 all together but I don't know if that is possible.

One other thing I noticed is that the problem does not exist if I log into machines remotely using TEAMVIEWER 14.  Oddly the printer manage buttons work perfectly via Teamviewer.  However if go to the machine in person and use the mouse they cannot be managed.

Well, what's interesting is the standard user does not have the "Remove device" button.

Standard User View: Open Queue, Manage

Admin View: Open Queue, Manage, Remove Device

I'm making an assumption that whatever ties to/around that permission may correct the display problem?
