    Print Spooler Not Working After Windows 10 Upgrade


    I recently updated a few computers at work to Windows 10 Pro (from Windows 7 Pro) via the media creation tool. I kept all apps and documents in place, hoping it would work okay, but I've run into problems with printing on every machine.

    At first I thought it was just the physical printer, but our admin had problems printing to PDF as well, which tells me the issue is not a driver issue, but an issue with the print spooler since upgrading to 10.

    I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the driver to no avail. I really don't have any ideas on what to do next.

    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Print Spooler Issue

    Hello Sree,

    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

    thread    .

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

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thanks.

    Print Spooler Not Working After Windows 10 Upgrade

    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
