After upgrading our PCs to Windows 10 the print spooler service has stopped working on three of them. If I roll back to Windows 7 it works but I don't want to rollback again if I can help it. I have tried several suggestions from the internet and none have worked so far.
Add'l info: I've stopped and restarted the spooler service and it stops almost immediately. I can't install or uninstall printers or drivers without the spooler running so that option has been out for me. I've tried deleting the printers from the c:\\system32\spool\printers directory but no files exist in there. I even tried HK_CURRENT_CONFIG > system > CurrentControlSet > Control > Print > Printers to delete but none exist there either. I have three printers showing in my printers but they are all marked unavailable and can't be removed. I've noticed many many people seem to have this problem but so far I haven't found any resolutions. Can you help? Please??? I'm so over Windows 10 at the moment.
