    Print Spooler Service won't stay running - Windows 11

    To be more specific...

    Now the Print Spooler sometimes stayed running. (After a restart, I may have to Start the Service bcos it didn't get started)

    During installation of print driver full package, Print Spooler stayed in Running mode...

    Until a point it gave message : End Point Mapper cannot find the Endpoint Device...Then I noticed the Print Spooler stops.

    We have exactly the same problem.

    We’ve been through all the steps proposed on the various postings on this problem, even down to completely reinstalling Windows 11 using the downloadable media creation tool (retaining files and apps). We’ve still got the problem. Manually restarting the print spooler can occasionally allow a test page to print, but the next attempt fails and the Services app shows the print spooler has stopped again.

    Help, please.
