    1. Open Start Menu >> Run, type services.msc and press Enter

    2. Locate the service named Print Spooler

    3. Right Click and Select Stop

    4. Open the windows directory at the following path:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS

    Delete everything inside this folder but don’t delete the PRINTERS folder only delete all the contents inside this folder.


    5. Now On the services window right click the Print Spooler service again, right click and select Start

    Now after starting print spooler service go back to print job queue and refresh the queue, you will not see any print jobs there all the print jobs will be removed.

    My spooler already had nothing in it as it was infected and the tech deleted all infected files. I found the printers folder, but I don't know where to go for the services window. could you explain?

    Tried to restart and it won't let me. It talks about dependancy
