Symptoms
After Agent installation, the user experiences issues with printers, such as:
- printing does not work at all
- printing requests are sent slowly

The print spooler service crashes (traces of this can be found in the MS Event Logs) when the Agent is installed and a protection plan with Anti-Malware Protection is enabled on the machine.
Printing works fine if the protection plan with Anti-Malware Protection is disabled.
Cause
Issue in the product: Printer Spooler crash.
Issue
As of Windows 11, version 21H2, Microsoft introduced the Azure Code Signing requirement for all Antivirus and Anti-Malware Protection vendors.
Azure Code Signing ensures that your Windows workload is secure and compliant by establishing the identity of the application publisher. It also verifies application integrity, ensuring it has not been modified since publication.
