How to Fix Right-click on the Printer Icon, Nothing Happens in Windows 10

• First of all, go to the “Cortana” search box, write the term- “services.msc” (removed quotes) and you can observe the same on top, click on it.

• In the opened console you could see a list of “Services” names; trace out these five “Device” services – “Device Association Service”, “Device Install Service”, “Device Management Enrollment Service”, “Device Setup Manager” and “DevQuery Background Discovery Broker”.

• Look at the “Startup Type” column and ensure that “Manual (Trigger Start) should be seen for these four services – “Device Association Service”, “Device Install Service”, “Device Setup Manager” and “DevQuery Background Discovery Broker”.

• Well, by default these services startup type is set to “Manual (Trigger Start)” in Windows 10 and hence, you need to cross check that these four services have “Manual (Trigger Start)” as their “Startup Type”.
• If you don’t see “Manual (Trigger Start)” in any of these services, appoint a right-click on the service, and click “Properties”.

• Click or hit the drop-down menu that appears alongside “Startup type” and opt “Manual”.

• Now, the “Startup type” of fifth service – “Device Management Enrollment Service” should be only “Manual”.
• After checking and (if necessary) alter the startup type, and thereafter you need to reboot the machine.
