Post by: Walter Schulz on July 06, 2021, 07:17:37 PM
Sadly no joke: Use a search engine to look for
PrintNightMare

Disable "Spooler" ASAP and hope for a patch to come up soon.

Regarding how to disable "Print Spooler" service (under Workarounds):
https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527


Open Powershell as admin:
QuoteDetermine if the Print Spooler service is running

Code Select
Get-Service -Name Spooler

QuoteOption 1 - Disable the Print Spooler service

If disabling the Print Spooler service is appropriate for your enterprise, use the following PowerShell commands:

Code Select
Stop-Service -Name Spooler -Force
Code Select
Set-Service -Name Spooler -StartupType Disabled

You can run again the following command to check if it still running or disabled:
Code Select
Get-Service -Name Spooler

Done.

There is another option, you can follow it from link above.
