In order to avoid some ransom in our companies, just disable the service Print Spoler on WIndows 10 and Windows Server environments.

In order to do that, just open a PS as an admin and run the following:

#prevent the service from starting again during restart

Set-Service -Name Spooler -StartupType Disabled

That’s all! take care!
