[Framers] Windows 11 compatibility?

I've noticed that Windows updates are not consistently configured to keep your personal configuration choices. 

Instead, they often smash through and reset them to Windows defaults. 

It's beyond annoying (and a huge productivity loss), not to mention extremely lazy programming as far as I'm concerned.

The OS keeps changing my default printer on me behind my back. I don't let 
Windows manage my printers. I even edited the registry to ensure this. 

But every few days, the damn thing moves default from Adobe Printer to 
something else. No one can figure out why or how to make it stop, and if 
the developers of this little piece of insanity were in front of me, I'd 
rip 'em a new one.
