Hvis du åbner Task Manager^{(open Task Manager)} , kan du muligvis se en proces ved navn splwow64.exe køre på din Windows 10-enhed. Du undrer dig måske over, hvad denne proces handler om, og hvorfor den kører på din enhed. I dette indlæg optrævler vi splwow64.exe- processen på Windows 10 , og hvordan man deaktiverer den.

Hvad er splwow64.exe-processen på Windows 10

Som vist på indledningsbilledet ovenfor, beskriver afsnittet Baggrundsprocesser^(Background) , hvor splwow64.exe-processen er angivet, programmer, der sandsynligvis ikke er synlige på dit skrivebord. Disse omfatter processer installeret af andre programmer, såsom selvopdateringsværktøjer, Windows - komponenter og "suspenderede" Windows Store - apps.

Vi vil diskutere dette emne i dette afsnit under følgende underoverskrifter:

Hvad er splwow64.exe i Task Manager , og hvorfor kører det?

Splwow64.exe er en Windows -^{(splwow64.exe)} proces skabt af Microsoft selv, der er beregnet til at forbinde og administrere printerspoolertjenester. Denne særlige proces i Task Manager er angivet som printerdrivervært for 32-bit applikationer^{(Printer driver host for 32-bit applications)} . Hvad dette betyder, er, at splwow64.exe- processen bruges til at forbinde 32-bit printerprogrammer på et 64-bit Windows OS . Splwow64.exe -processen udløses^{(splwow64.exe)} automatisk af Windows , når din enhed bruger 32-bit printerdrivere - processen formodes at afslutte sig selv, så snart udskrivningsjobbet er udført.

Så hvis din enhed er tilsluttet en 32-bit printer og i Task Manager , kører splwow64.exe- processen, så er der intet at bekymre sig om. Men hvis der ikke er nogen printer tilsluttet, og det ser ud til, at splwow64.exe-processen konstant kører i Task Manager , bør du slippe af med processen for at forhindre ethvert potentielt ydeevneproblem, det kan forårsage på din enhed.

Deaktiver Print Spooler for at afslutte splwow64.exe-processen

Til tider forbliver Splwow64.exe- processen i hukommelsen i yderligere tid for at øge systemets ydeevne, efter at et udskriftsjob er afsluttet. Det ender ikke som forventet, når et udskriftsjob er afsluttet. Du har to muligheder:

• Deaktiver Print Spooler Startup type
• Skift timeoutværdi.

Den forventede normale adfærd er, at splwow64.exe- processen skal afsluttes automatisk, så snart dit udskriftsjob er fuldført - men hvis processen stadig kører i Task Manager , kan det blive en fejl og kan gå ned på din enhed - for at forhindre dette, du skal indstille Print Spooler Startup type- værdien til Disabled for at afslutte splwow64.exe-processen. Sådan gør du:

• Tryk på Windows key + R for at starte dialogboksen Kør.
• I dialogboksen Kør skal du skrive services.msc og trykke på Enter for at åbne Services-konsollen^{(open Services console)} .
• Find  Print Spooler -tjenesten i vinduet  Tjenester.
• Dobbeltklik på Print Spooler for at redigere dens egenskaber.
• I vinduet Egenskaber skal du klikke på Starttype^{(Startup type)} og vælge indstillingen Deaktiveret^(Disabled) fra rullelisten.
• Klik på Anvend^(Apply) > OK for at gemme ændringer.
• Afslut vinduet Tjenester.
• Genstart computeren.

Ved opstart skal du åbne Task Manager og kontrollere, om splwow64.exe- processen stadig kører i baggrunden.

Hvis du ser dette ske ofte, kan du også konfigurere timeoutværdien^{(configure its time-out value)} som følger:

Åbn Registreringseditor^{(Registry Editor)} og naviger til følgende nøgle:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print

Opret en ny DWORD-værdi, navngiv den SplWOW64TimeOutSeconds og indtast en værdi større end 0 i den.

siger Microsoft,

The Splwow64.exe process is unloaded when the number of seconds that is specified in SplWOW64TimeOutSeconds elapses since the last 32-bit print process has closed. Therefore, when a service process prints, the print capability is not released until the service closes and at least the time that you specify in the Value data box passes. For example, if you type 15 in the Value data box, and the last 32-bit process takes two minutes to print and close, the print capability is released between two minutes and 15 seconds and two minutes and 30 seconds. If no time-out value is specified, the default time-out value is two minutes.

Håber dette hjælper.

What is splwow64.exe process in Windows 10 and Can I disable it?

If you open Task Manager, you might see a process named splwow64.exe running on your Windows 10 device. You may be wondering what this process is all about and why is it running on your device. In this post, we unravel the splwow64.exe process on Windows 10 and how to disable it.

What is splwow64.exe process on Windows 10

As shown on the lead-in image above, the Background processes section where the splwow64.exe process is listed, details programs that probably aren’t visible on your desktop. These include processes installed by other programs, such as self-update utilities, Windows components, and “suspended” Windows Store apps.

We will discuss this topic in this section under the following subheadings:

What is splwow64.exe in Task Manager and why is it running?

The splwow64.exe is a Windows process created by Microsoft itself that is meant for connecting and managing printer spooler services. This particular process in the Task Manager, is listed as Printer driver host for 32-bit applications. What this means, is that, the splwow64.exe process is used for connecting 32-bit printer applications on a 64-bit Windows OS. The splwow64.exe process is automatically triggered by Windows when your device is using 32-bit printer drivers – the process is supposed to terminate itself as soon as the printing job is done.

So, if your device is connected to a 32-bit printer and in Task Manager, the splwow64.exe process is running, then there’s nothing to worry about. However, if there’s no printer connected and it appears that the splwow64.exe process is persistently running in Task Manager, then you should get rid of the process so as to prevent any potential performance issue it might cause on your device.

Disable Print Spooler to terminate splwow64.exe process

At times, the Splwow64.exe process stays in the memory for additional time to increase system performance after a print job is finished. It does not end as expected when a print job is finished. You have two options:

• Disable Print Spooler Startup type
• Change Timeout value.

The expected normal behavior is that the splwow64.exe process should terminate automatically as soon as your print job completes – but if the process is still running in the Task Manager, it might become an error and can crash on your device – to prevent this, you need to set the Print Spooler Startup type value to Disabled to terminate the splwow64.exe process. Here’s how:

• Press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.
• In the Run dialog box, type services.msc and hit Enter to open Services console.
• In the Services window, locate the Print Spooler service.
• Double-click Print Spooler to edit its properties.
• In the Properties window, click Startup type and select the Disabled option from the drop-down list.
• Click Apply > OK to save changes.
• Exit Services window.
• Reboot computer.

On boot, open Task Manager and check whether the splwow64.exe process is still running in the background.

If you see this happening frequently, you can also configure its time-out value as follows:

Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print

Create a new DWORD Value, name it SplWOW64TimeOutSeconds and enter a value greater than 0 in it.

Says Microsoft,

The Splwow64.exe process is unloaded when the number of seconds that is specified in SplWOW64TimeOutSeconds elapses since the last 32-bit print process has closed. Therefore, when a service process prints, the print capability is not released until the service closes and at least the time that you specify in the Value data box passes. For example, if you type 15 in the Value data box, and the last 32-bit process takes two minutes to print and close, the print capability is released between two minutes and 15 seconds and two minutes and 30 seconds. If no time-out value is specified, the default time-out value is two minutes.

Hope this helps.
