FIX Print Spooler Service Is Not Running - Windows 11
32FIX Print Spooler Service Is Not Running - Windows 11.
If the Print Spooler service keeps stopping after your restart it, the problem is most likely related to corrupted printer drivers that are installed on the computer. Try uninstalling all printers and printer software from the computer and start from scratch. This may include PDF writer or faxing software as well. Anything listed in the Control Panel under Printers & Faxes I would do away with. If there is any software installed for other printers in Add/Remove Programs I would uninstall it all. Obtain updated software from your printer manufacturers and reinstall only the items you need.
The Print Spooler Service is responsible for managing print jobs which are in turn meant for the printer to handle. If this service ceases to work, the printer won’t print documents and it might be that the system won’t detect it either. In such a situation, users can see any one of the following error messages, depending on the circumstances:
Windows cannot connect to the printer, The local Print Spooler service is not running
The local Print Spooler service is not running, Please restart the Spooler or restart the machine.
