My favorite is Windows deciding to choose the default printer for me. I normally keep the printer turned off unless I'm actually printing something. As a result, several applications (LibreOffice off the top of my head but there have been several others) started hanging for several seconds on a dialog box on launch trying to connect to my powered down printer. So I go into the "new and improved" printer settings screen and select the Microsoft Print to PDF, thinking I'll set it to the default to bypass the issue. Except there is no option to set it as the default. I eventually go back to the main printer setting screen and realize it's possible to scroll down (not sure about light mode, but in dark mark it's hard to notice the scroll bar automatically). I scroll down and see some stupid "Let Windows manage my default printer" checkbox that got added (and enabled by default) in some recent update. I uncheck it and yay I can change my default printer.
Meanwhile in the old devices and printers control panel it was just right click -> set as default printer
