Fixing the Spooler

Have you started your computer, then all of a sudden see this message, that keeps poping up every 3 minutes...



That means that there is an error with your spooler.


1. Restart your computer. If you still see the message after restarting then continue to step 2.

2. Click Start and then go to Accessories,  then right-click command prompt and select run as Administrator.


3. Then type sfc/ scannow and press enter. This is the system file scanner, it will replace and fix corrupled system files.

Let it scan and then resart your computer. If you have custom visual themes, like I do, such as a custom logon screen, then it may go back to the default when you restart the computer, but you can set it back.

Hopefully this has fixed the spooler and possibly other problems, you may not have known you had.
