My epson perfection v700 scanner (that allows me to scan photos, negatives, documents, etc.) and that I paid over $800 for) stopped working with teh latest update two days ago. I've downloaded a new driver and other software from Epson and it doesn't work. Can I uninstall this update? I like my scanner a whole lot more than I like Windows.

Have read all 6 pages tonight and I have either tried it all or have tried the fixes tonight and nothing worked. Hoping to get a fix soon as I have a ticket logged with Espon and apparently it has gone to tier 3 support at their office in Sydney.
Did you run the utility and follow the instructions I posted in the thread before yours? This was straight from Epson.

I fixed my issue by installing the Windows version of the driver vs going to the Epson site. I had an issue where the auto document feeder (ADF) was not working. You can install the windows version by going to Printer & Scanners, Select add a printer or scanner and let windows locate the device and install its driver.
I have an EcoTank Epson L355 - same scan symptoms.
After a (epson) scan, a window would disappeared off-screen (behind the start menu) and would not return.
Epson Scan has to be killed with task manager.
Uninstalled all Epson software, rebooted, reinstalled latest drivers - did not help.
Rolling back a windows update... is this even a solution in this day of exploits?
Been waiting for a while for Epson to fix.
Been using NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner 2) - not as customisable as Epson Scan.
NAPS2 is great for scripted / bulk scans.
Tried the Run As Admin - worked for a few scans, then broke when I rest Scan to default.
I concur - just opened Epson scanner without admin mode just now and it scanned fine.
