Winspool.drv is a crucial component of the Windows operating system that plays a significant role in managing printer-related tasks. It is responsible for handling print spooling, which involves managing print jobs and sending them to the appropriate printer. However, like any other system file, winspool.drv can encounter errors that can disrupt the printing functionality on your computer.
Common Winspool.drv Errors
When winspool.drv encounters errors, it can manifest in various ways, causing inconvenience and frustration for users. Some of the common winspool.drv errors include:
- Winspool.drv not found
- Winspool.drv is missing or corrupt
- Winspool.drv causing high CPU usage

These errors can occur due to a variety of reasons, including malware infections, outdated printer drivers, system file corruption, or conflicts with other software. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to fix winspool.drv errors and restore the normal functioning of your printer.
1. Run the DISM and SFC scans
DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) and SFC (System File Checker) are built-in Windows tools that can repair corrupted or missing system files and restore the health of your computer. Both DISM and SFC scans can be run from an elevated command prompt (with administrative privileges). Here are the steps to do so:

Here are 10 basic security tips to help you avoid malware and protect your device:
Use a good antivirus and keep it up-to-date.
It’s essential to use a good quality antivirus and keep it up-to-date to stay ahead of the latest cyber threats. We are huge fans of Malwarebytes Premium and use it on all of our devices, including Windows and Mac computers as well as our mobile devices. Malwarebytes sits beside your traditional antivirus, filling in any gaps in its defenses, and providing extra protection against sneakier security threats.
Keep software and operating systems up-to-date.
Keep your operating system and apps up to date. Whenever an update is released for your device, download and install it right away. These updates often include security fixes, vulnerability patches, and other necessary maintenance.
Be careful when installing programs and apps.
Pay close attention to installation screens and license agreements when installing software. Custom or advanced installation options will often disclose any third-party software that is also being installed. Take great care in every stage of the process and make sure you know what it is you’re agreeing to before you click «Next.»
Install an ad blocker.
Use a browser-based content blocker, like AdGuard. Content blockers help stop malicious ads, Trojans, phishing, and other undesirable content that an antivirus product alone may not stop.
Be careful what you download.
A top goal of cybercriminals is to trick you into downloading malware—programs or apps that carry malware or try to steal information. This malware can be disguised as an app: anything from a popular game to something that checks traffic or the weather.
Be alert for people trying to trick you.
Whether it’s your email, phone, messenger, or other applications, always be alert and on guard for someone trying to trick you into clicking on links or replying to messages. Remember that it’s easy to spoof phone numbers, so a familiar name or number doesn’t make messages more trustworthy.
Back up your data.
Back up your data frequently and check that your backup data can be restored. You can do this manually on an external HDD/USB stick, or automatically using backup software. This is also the best way to counter ransomware. Never connect the backup drive to a computer if you suspect that the computer is infected with malware.
Choose strong passwords.
Use strong and unique passwords for each of your accounts. Avoid using personal information or easily guessable words in your passwords. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your accounts whenever possible.
Be careful where you click.
Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. These could potentially contain malware or phishing scams.
Don’t use pirated software.
Avoid using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing programs, keygens, cracks, and other pirated software that can often compromise your data, privacy, or both.
To avoid potential dangers on the internet, it’s important to follow these 10 basic safety rules. By doing so, you can protect yourself from many of the unpleasant surprises that can arise when using the web.
