Microsoft Windows 10 Print Spooler Service Issues
With the September Microsoft Windows 10 update of KB4522016, some users began reporting issues with the print spooler service.

Microsoft acknowledged the complaints regarding this and released another update KB4524147 to address the intermittent issues and crashing of File Explorer during a print job. But it created issues for some users by breaking the print spooler service in devices where there were no previous printing problems.
