Printing stopped with November upgrade

Hey Prestonpdx,

I would suggest you check if the print spooler is running. Start/Stop print spooler service. Follow the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + R, type services.msc
  and press Enter.
  
• 
  From the list, locate Print Spooler service.
  
• 
  Double click on the service and select Stop.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, repeat step 1&2.
  
• 
  Double click on the service and check if the service is started.
  

Get back to us with the updated status, we’ll be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Win 10: Services stuck on starting/stopping, programs not starting


Hi all! I'm facing this issue that is really annoying since I can't find out what is the cause.
It started about one week ago, I notices some programs were not starting at windows start (ex: Coretemp, Malwarebytes).
Moreover, the pc always got stuck on the reboot or shutdown screen, saying the system is restarting /shutting down, with the animated icon rotating but without actually rebooting or shutting down.
Looking on the services list, I've noticed that many services are stuck on starting or terminating, without the ability to terminate or restart them.
I then proceeded to format. Things were working good then, today, this problem emerged again. Malwarebytes anti malware service is stuck on starting, other services are stuck on terminating. I'm attaching a screen.
(it's in Italian, "avvio in corso" means it's starting, "arresto in corso" means it is terminating).



After 30 minutes they're still stuck.
Programs such as Coretemp (not service) won't even start.
I really don't know what could be causing all this. Can you help me please?

 

Wuauserv Corrupt and stuck on stopping

I want to know how to force kill a windows service. wuauserv is stuck in stopping state even after restarting several times. net stop, task manager, and services wont stop it so I need something more aggressive that will force it to die.
