Windows Version 21H2.
My computer was working fine, no problems with printing, and when I tried to add a new Brother printer, it kept crashing my print spool services. None of the virtual printers (The print to pdf, print to onenote etc) work either. So, after trying a variety of troubleshooting tips, I decided to do a clean install. However, something interesting happenned while I was in the process. I disconnected my secondary hard disk before the reset, and the print processes started working like magic, but when I plugged the secondary hard disk back the problem also came back.
I never came across this oddity before, so I thought I should share it.
I did end up clean installing windows 11 and print processes work while the secondary hard disk is connected to MOBO.
I gotta say, I like the aesthetic of Win11, but oh boy, it is a chore with all the bugs.
If anyone has any insight as to the cause of this bug so as to prevent it from occurring in the future, it'd be greatly appreciated.
