#Microsoft software repair tool for windows 10 updates windows 7
Obviously, it doesn't even clear out the spooler files (because that's one of the suggestions to try if running the troubleshooter didn't help).Īs explained in the TechNet blog I linked, the Windows 7 tools: What exactly does the printer "Troubleshooter" do? Is there any similar tool available for cleaning out/resetting the printing subsystem for Windows 10? I assume that the script will not work on Windows 10, although I haven't tried it. Of course, Microsoft "retired" these helpful routines long before the actual end of Windows 7 support.įortunately, however, the PowerShell script that was the guts of the FixIt routines was preserved, and is still available at GitHub: For the latter OSes, the tool was released as a "FixIt" automatic routines. The tool was later modified to work for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. This was quite useful in situations where nothing else could get a printer installation working. Quite a while ago, Microsoft had a tool for resetting the Windows printing subsystem.
