Make sure that one does NOT have a PDF driver set as the default printer, as this can create issues with many programs.
And if there is NO printer installed and set as the default, Windows MAY have it set to the "Generic" printer, which is a plain text driver to send files to, to make text files.

It does not always happen. It is intermittent. 2. It is a bad design choice in that whether one has a printer or not should not affect screen view. 3. Reboot of Legacy, not the OS, makes the problem go away.
