After restart the virtual printers still didn't work.I uninstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 20 (both x86 and 圆4 flavors) from Control Panel's Programs, then restarted the PC.The virtual printers stopped working again.I downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 20 (both x86 and 圆4 flavors) directly from Microsoft's "The latest supported Visual C++ downloads" web page.All of the virtual printers now worked again.I used System Restore to restore to a point just before the VMWare Player and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installations.

I tried uninstalling/re-installing some of the virtual printers (such as Bullzip PDF Printer), but this did not fix the problem.I figured out the problem is directly related to the install of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 by this series of experiments: After this install I noticed that some virtual printers on my Windows 10 Pro PC no longer worked.īy "virtual printers" I mean installed printers that print to files or print directly into other applications (see the list further below). I recently installed an updated version of VMWare Player which also installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (both x86 and 圆4 flavors).
