If you disable the print spooler yes. This would need to be run from an elevated Powershell prompt.

Work-around to protect yourself from the issue
Code: 
Stop-Service -Name 'Spooler'
Set-Service -Name 'Spooler' -StartupType Disabled


Re-enable the service
Start-Service -Name 'Spooler'
Set-Service -Name 'Spooler' -StartupType Automatic
Sort by date Sort by votes
If you disable the service, the next time you reboot it will be stopped

Ok good. I'm done. I hope they come up with a better fix than this anytime soon. Must really be annoying for businesses. First the pandemic and now Microsoft. :culpability:
