That folder is where your print drivers are. But you could go into C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\圆4 and delete the folder labeled as 3. I fixed this with a reimage to save time. Print spooler recovers and the service restarts (this could be in milliseconds mind you), but the default printer is still PDF, why? Because it already switched. So If you had building1-printer5 as your default printer, and now it just dropped off, where does the default go? To one of those builtin ones that don't leave, like OneNote/XPS/PDF. If you disable the print spooler, you'll notice the only things left are printing options like OneNote/XPS/PDF/etc. So the spooler crashes and takes your printer availability list with it. So what happens is, your print spooler crashes because there are installed drivers (print drivers) that are old/conflicting/etc. It has to do with the print spooler crashing. Oh man, I fought this problem for MONTHS.
