Hi, I’d check whether the Print Spooler service is set to Automatic or Automatic Delayed Start, then look at the System event log around boot time for service dependency or driver errors. On AVD hosts, printer drivers and redirection components can sometimes cause the spooler to fail during startup. A practical workaround is to set the service to Automatic Delayed Start and remove any problematic third-party print drivers from the image. If you use FSLogix or printer redirection, I’d also test with a clean host image to separate image issues from user profile issues.
