Cannot right-click print .DWG files - AutoCAD 2018

Recently updated to Windows 10, right clicked on a .dwg to print to PDF as I usually do, but there was no option to print to PDF, let alone to print at all. Tested all other file types and had no such issue. Seems to be limited only to .dwg files. Tried disabling the print to PDF feature, then re-enabled, and rebooted - no dice. Am forced to open up the .dwg files within AutoCAD and then print from within that. Though, this is, as one can tell, very time consuming, as before, I was able to highlight multiple .dwg files and print them all to PDF, simple as. 

 

Would like any ideas. Found this previous forum post which seems to describe the issue, but attempting the Registry Editor fix did not work. Feel free to join in on this solution, AutoDesk employees.

This is not a typical ability with a basic Autocad installation. Do you have a specialized pdf converter installed?

Something like Bluebeam or CutePDF, etc?

If so, perhaps one of those were enabling that conversion for you, and the upgrade disabled that function.

Yeah, this is most likely a function of the PDF software rather than AutoCAD.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
