Why is my Epson Scanner freezing after upgrading to Windows 10 Spring 2018

I just want to follow up that since I first encountered this problem in August 2018, till today I have not found a permanent solution ("running as administrator" does not always work for me as the scanner still freezes after one or a few scans, and in the first place this should not even be called a "solution" in the first place). After eight months contacting Epson and also exhausting all possible options on my own, I have given up on resolving this issue.

PLEASE GET THE PATCH FROM HERE! somebody please put it on the first page

Good to know.

The problem first appeared when I strarted using a new HP Pavilion laptop. Before, I had a Dell that was running Vista. I had no problems with that. I did keep the old Dell (thank god) and so when I have a big scanning project I will hook it up.

I have since seen that many people report the same frustrating problem and that appears to be some oversight.

I should mention that I can print using the Epson Print Utility which I uploaded off the Epson disk.

got it to run twice in a row running as administrator, thanks all

Had same problem after updating Win 10.  Temp solution of running as Administrator worked for me.
