Do you have any printers installed? If you have remove them to see if it makes any difference.

I do not have any installed printer, remove it when I started looking for solutions for the net

Did you try to boot Windows in Clean Boot mode to see if the service starts?

Capture Process Monitor Trace

Download Process Monitor and save it to the Desktop
Open an elevated Command Prompt
Run Process Monitor from the Desktop. Leave this running while you perform the next steps
Return to the Command Prompt and run net start spooler just like you have in the past
Stop Process Monitor as soon as the command fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.
Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your Desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file.

Note: To produce a smaller log is recommended to close all other programs that are not needed before starting the trace.
