Last week I was printing documents within Edge's print preview no problem by clicking the print button at the top then pressing enter right after when the preview window popped up. Now (June 29th 2026) that no longer works and all the buttons are rounded to match the modern style I guess. I don't know why a simple feature like this was removed but it would really be appreciated if it was brought back as less functionality is not the way to go in this day and age.

    You are correct, this is a problem caused by the latest update to Edge, the Print button in the Print Preview window is not automatically focused when you choose to print a document, so pressing the Enter key on your keyboard does not quickly print the document.

    This forum is just a user to user forum, the best option is to click the 3 dots at the top right of Edge and on the resulting menu select Feedback, then on the Edge Feedback Panel report this lack of functionality to the Edge developers there so they can fix this in the next update.
