How to fix Microsoft Print to PDF Not Saving Files

How to fix Microsoft Print to PDF Not Saving Files. So I have Windows 10 Pro and am trying to print to pdf using the built in Microsoft PDF Printer.  Up until now, I have had no issue.  Now, when I try to print to PDF, the file is not saved and I do not get an error message.  CutePDF has no issues with file creation/saving.  I have tried to remove the printer and re add the printer.  This corrected the issue for about 5 minutes and then the problem returned.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  If the recommendation it to stick with using CutePDF, I am fine with that.  Just wondering if others have had similar issues using Microsoft Print to PDF, and if so, how the issue was resolved.  Thanks!
