Opening Print Dialog Freezes Processing on Windows 11

Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

PDE

Processing version

4.5.2

Operating system

Windows 11 Professional

Bug description

When I open Processing 4.5.2 on Windows 11 Professional and I press "File" -> "Print", the application proceeds to freeze for some extent of time (1 - 2 minutes). The bug only happens the first time I press print after opening Processing, once it has happened I can press print and the dialog opens like normal. The desktop computer I use has had printer connections in the past, 5 to be percise, and only one of them is a physical device. The others are things like "Microsoft print to PDF", or "Fax". I have tried recreating this issue on my laptop by removing all printers and scanners but had no sucess. Though, I can consistently recreate the issue on my desktop without failure.

Steps to reproduce this

You need:

Windows 11 professional
A computer with a printer connection that is not in range.
-My specfic printer is a HP OfficeJet Pro 8020 series, with a Microsoft IPP Class Driver.
Processing 4.5.2

Steps:

1. Open a fresh processing application

2. In the newly created file click - File -> Print

3. The application will freeze (fully unresponsive) for about a minute until the file dialog finally opens

Commencez au point d’entrée PDE File -> Print et reproduisez le gel lors de la première utilisation sous Windows 11 avec une connexion d’imprimante inaccessible. Déterminez pourquoi la boîte de dialogue d’impression initiale met 1–2 minutes à s’ouvrir, puis vérifiez que la boîte de dialogue s’ouvre normalement dès la première tentative sans provoquer de régression lors des impressions suivantes.
