Note that in the video 2 bugs are showcased. Both are related to printing. Bug reported here is shown secondly. Whenever trying to edit the printer preferences of the default selected printer, Inkscape crashes.

Pre-requisites:
Multiple printers installed on system (can be same physical printer but install 1 for network and 1 for USB)
Working printer is selected as default printer in Windows Printers and settings screen

Open inkscape
Open an SVG document
Click File --> Print
  The default printer is highlighted
click Printer preferences (Note sure if this is proper translation, see video)

Result:
"Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now" is shown in a pop-up window and application becomes non-responsive / crashes

Work-around:

Open inkscape
Open an SVG document
Click File --> Print
  The default printer is highlighted
Click one of the other printers
Click the default printer again
click Printer preferences (Note sure if this is proper translation, see video)

result:
Preference window of selected printer is opened.
