OneNote causes trouble

Question

I never use OneNote. I haven't ever had the following problem with printing. Suddenly it happens today:

I want to print a Word document. Then I just get a failure message (in Swedish): 

”Du måste köra OneNote första gången för att åtgärden ska kunna utföras. Försök igen när du har startat OneNote ”

Translation: You have to run OneNote for the first time in order to execute the action. Try again when you have started OneNote".

I try to start OneNote. Then I get another failure message: ”OneNote rensar upp efter senaste gången det var öppet. Vänta.” Translation: "OneNote cleans up after the last time when it was open. Wait"

What has happened now seems like a sabotage. Please help me to get rid of the problem. Answer in Swedish is ok.

Answer 1

Probably the problem has already been solved. For some reason, which I don't understand, the setting at "Printer" on the printing menu was "OneNote" and not the usual printer. After changing it worked in the usual way.

Answer 2

Almost certainly, the underlying cause of trouble is that Windows 10 is allowed to change the default printer based on which (physical or virtual) printer that has been selected as the current printer. Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners. Deselect "Let Windows manage my default printer" and then choose the printer you want to be your standard printer. (In Swedish: Start > Inställningar > Enheter > Skrivare och skannrar. Avmarkera "Låt Windows hantera min standardskrivare" och välj sedan den skrivare du vill ha som standard.)
