#Spoolsv exe driver#

Has someone any idea why this process slows down my pc and keeps getting bigger minute after minute? Kind regards Other programs do crash because the lack memory (like videodriver or skype). Normally I wouldn't care about (temporarly)В high memory usage, but it really never drops. 2) spoolsv.exe graph I am not printing, or have not printed since days (and several reboots). Normally I wouldn't care about (temporarly) high memory usage, but it really never drops. To run the Windows Spooler process, do the following: Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. If you do not find the process in the list, manually run it. If you can find it, the Windows Spooler is running.

Apparently it is not only consuming RAM but also CPU power. Apparently it is not only consuming RAM but also CPU power. Make sure the option Show processes from all users is enabled. But a few minutes later i have taken these screenshots from the process explorer. When the process is skyhigh in memory usage, i can kill it. I uploaded the screenshot of the driververifier.

In the meantime, I have read in another post about a general memory leak in Windows 7 where they suggested using the driver verifier, but it didn't gave me any clue. I have a screenshot of my task managerВ showing that the 'Private Working Set' and also Commit Size is very large. When i started digging into the problem, i noticed that memory usage of the process spoolsv.exe was rather high. 'A reboot a day keeps the troubles away' was my temporary workaround. I wasn't running special memory consuming programs. Weeks ago i started noticing weird errors like: 'memory low', can not start virtual machine. Hi I have a Windows 7 ењ†4В (Ultimate) running on my laptop.
