You do not need to mitigate this yourself if you receive monthly Windows 10 updates.
Microsoft pushed out the update (
KB5004945) that patches this issue on July 6, 2021. Check your WIN10 update history.
"Updates a remote code execution exploit in the Windows Print Spooler service, known as “PrintNightmare”, as documented in CVE-2021-34527."
A system reboot may be necessary if prompted.
