Windows 10 update uninstalled revit printers- cannot reinstall

Since I updated my PC to windows 10, this is the error message I get when I go to print.

When I go to reinstall a printer, I get prompted to restart my print spooler. Once I do that, it seems there are no options to 'use an existing port' which is part of the adobe printer set up process.

I am able to print to PDF from autoCAD and photoshop, which tells me this is a revit specific issue. This happens in both 2018 and 2021. I've also tried reinstalling revit and adobe, as well as uninstalling the windows 10 update (which I'm positive is when this issue started happening) 

 

any advice?

Have you tried updating 2018? Or Repair?

Maybe an update is forthcoming. Rollback the update and make Autodesk aware of the issue by opening a Support Case through your Account Portal.  

 

...wait a minute. Are you saying you upgraded the operating system?  This is not about a recent automatic Windows update?
