About this tag
The splwow64.exe process is a component of the Windows printing subsystem that handles print jobs for 64-bit systems. Users have reported issues where splwow64.exe does not terminate after a print job finishes, causing hangs that affect application performance. This can occur in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, particularly when printing documents with certain fonts using the Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW) driver. Microsoft has released hotfixes to address these problems, including KB2815716 and KB2701894. Troubleshooting often involves ending the splwow64.exe process via Resource Monitor to restore normal operation until a permanent fix is applied.
