@all Hi Guys, I had an issue with Photo app in the windows 11, when I tried to print from any picture, the dialog box for printing appears and immediately disappears, all the printer are working fine for the PC, and I can print from anywhere except from phones, there any duplicated instance running, there is no error messages, I reset the app, rebooted the PC, used powershell to restore it , but didnt work and also tried an inplace but I have the same thing, this is for premier OMS, do you have any other idea I could try? At this point, I guess a fullreinstallation would work but I would like any other alternative.

You can try reinstalling print package from PS: ```Get-AppxPackage *PrintDialog* | Reset-AppxPackage``` ~You can check printing options, try to change mode from text/graphic ~Before that sfc /scannow ;) (reboot if required) Try to reset normal way(same as PS reset but for all windows store apps): Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog. Type WSReset.exe. Click on OK.

# Fix Windows 11 Photos App Print Dialog Disappearing Immediately

## Problem
The Windows 11 Photos app print dialog appears briefly when attempting to print any picture, then immediately disappears without displaying any error messages. All printers function normally from other applications. Standard troubleshooting including app reset, PC reboot, PowerShell app restoration, and Windows in-place upgrade did not resolve the issue.

## Resolution
1. Run System File Checker to repair any corrupted system files:
   ```
   sfc /scannow
   ```
   Reboot if required after completion.

2. Reset the Print Dialog package using PowerShell:
   ```
   Get-AppxPackage *PrintDialog* | Reset-AppxPackage
   ```

3. If the issue persists, reset all Windows Store apps:
   - Press Windows + R to open Run dialog
   - Type `WSReset.exe`
   - Click OK

4. Check printing options and try changing the print mode from text to graphic or vice versa in the print settings.
