Had recently already also real issues with this and it got really worse yesterday with constant GPF's under W10. First problem that issued before yesterday was hanging at the first time printersetcurrent() for several PDFCreator printers was used. Workaround was first to make a one time manually print to the PDF printer and after that switching back to paperprinter. After that printersetcurrent() everything went automatic again as long as the Paradox was not restarted againg. This worked OK for let's say around 3-4 months. Since yesterday this workaround did not work anymore. Everytime a GPF, really anoying because this never happened since 1994 to me or other people that are using my software on W7, W8, W10, W11 and even Windows Server. Tried several things (upgrading to W11, downgrading again, deleting last updates, etc, etc). Nothing really worked. Then checked the event log and especially the (event) archive messages under "Mantaince and Security" in the classic small icons Windows Configuration screen. This was the message that made me kind of back on track:

 Killed Microsoft.SharePoint.exe 
in Taskmanager and voila, all was working fine again. Hopes this helps some of you to isolate your hangups.

Had the same problem here last week after and update.  I think we fixed it.  We reset the default printer again.  Word and Excel were choking on printing as well.

> Killed Microsoft.SharePoint.exe 

This is fascinating. I have seen this problem appear on PCs since Win7, likely pre Microsoft.SharePoint.exe. I am guessing that is not the only cause.

There are some other refences to OneDrive.

 

After you Killed Microsoft.SharePoint.exe…

…does it return?

…what happens after reboot?

I went down the list killing processes until it stopped hanging. One computer it was Fusion 360 cam software causing it, another was one drive. Added it to a bat file to kill the process to make it easier for the user.

It does no return. After reboot you need to kill the process again, but that can be automated
