Photoshop hangs waiting for resources used by SPLWOW64.exe

[AWS]

I'm using the same software, the same hardware that I've been using for months. the only thing that has changed is Windows blasted updates.I've read similar issues on the internet and one fellow suggested that the file SPLWOW64.exe can be stopped and that may resolve the problem. The first time I stopped this file, I was then able to use photoshop without the hangs which follow every freeken

click in the program. However, Windows simply reinstalls that file and runs it every time a program that can print is started. Subsequently, stopping the file 'SPLWOW64.exe doesn't solve the problem. Note the problem has NOTHING to do with printing as I

am not attempting to print anything.
