Print Spooler Service Crashes

[Gofarlow7186]

Out of the blue, I lost the connection to my printer (Canon MG7720). I went to reinstall the driver and received an error that the Print Spooler was not running. I started the Print Spooler Service, but it stops and gives the following error in the Event Viewer:

I have tried:

1) Reboot

2) Cleared out all old printers from Settings and Registry

3) Updated to the latest versions and security patches

4) Ran "SFC /scannow"

5) Ran "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"

6)Reinstall the latest C++ Redistributable Package

7)Re-Registered msvcrt.dll

7) Replaced msvcrt.dll from another machine

8) Rolled back to a previous image and updated


No luck. I keep getting the same error. Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks,


Gary
