  1. print spooler not starting on windows 10


    It started with Microsoft PDF was not working due to 0x800706ba error (win 10). I found several options, one of them is to remove and re-install. Hoped that will be the end of it. After removing it, could not reinstall it, so followed another post to check on print spooler, it was not starting even though it is set up to be automatic and all the dependencies running.


    Found another post stating to fix the registry.solution 3 on this.

    https://windowsreport.com/print-spooler-service-windows-10/



    I haven't tried this yet as the trouble getting deeper and deeper. One of the things mentioned in the post is to backup the registry. Got no clue on that.


    If anyone got a fix on this, please let me know. or let me know how to take a back up of the registry and I will go forward with the above solution from the weblink.

    :)

    For step by step instructions on how you can manually start the Print Spooler Service, follow these:

    • Click Windows tab.
    • Type Control Panel > System and Maintenance
      > Administrative Tools.
    • Double click Services.
    • Right click to the Print Spooler service > Properties.

    However, we suggest you can refer to an answer given by Prabhavathi Patil on this

    .

    We also recommend that you update the driver for your printer.

  3. Must restart Spooler to print

    Have you set the Print Spooler server to Automatic? If you haven't, then let's do it. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Services through the search box.
    • Locate Print Spooler service and double click it.
    • Once the Print Spooler Properties window is open, look for Startup type and set is to
      Automatic.
    • Check also the Service status and make sure that it is set to Started.
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    In case there are other printers installed on your PC that you no longer use, we suggest that you uninstall it as it may also cause some issues with Print Spooler.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards
