Solution to spoolsv.exe cpu usage of 100%

A few days ago, too many users encountered spoolsv.exe's cpu usage of 99%. I asked her to reinstall the operating system. I am too lazy to reload it, so I searched online: most of the articles on this issue disable the related printing background services, but in this way I cannot print it, isn't it a bit of a waste of food? Later I found this article on a foreign website: tim's journal: spoolsv.exe hogging 99% of cpu-the fix

The solution is actually very simple. Suppose you have used anti-virus software to exclude viruses and anti-spyware to eliminate the impact of malware:

Just clear all the files in the C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ spool \ PRINTERS directory.

The cause is also documented on the Microsoft Website: The Windows Background print program does not delete the background file of the print job. As a result, the print program may repeatedly attempt to process the print job in the background.

Solution:
To avoid this problem, do not change its properties when the printed background file is in the % Systemroot % \ System32 \ Spool \ Printers folder.

 

To solve this problem, delete the read-only attribute and delete the background file from the % Systemroot % \ System32 \ Spool \ Printers folder.

To delete a read-only attribute, right-click Windows resource manager or a background file on my computer, click Properties, click the clear read-only check box, and then click OK.

For more information about how to delete files in Windows 2000, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type delete, and double-click Delete file topic.

 

Update:
According to flyingrufei, another method to solve the problem of repeated spoolsv occurs: The printer has a background management option to control. Open the spoolsv service (in my computer --- manage ---- service --- print spool, start), open the printer project on the control panel, right-click the printer properties --- advanced, change Background printing to direct printing --- OK!

Postscript:
During a chat with jianshuo, I learned from Wendy, who is also working at Microsoft: this problem actually exists since Windows 2000, but it has not been solved by XP. Microsoft also has related help documents, but it is a pity that users cannot find them online, because there is no description about spoolsv accounting for 100% of CPU, so: the idea between developers and users is simply two different things.
