I am also on Win10 1803. I got an Epson V600. I just go to Epson & download the driver, install & after restart it works. No hassle. You should just uninstall the scanner driver & reinstall again. It should work
Epson scanner will not work with latest windows 10 update

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.

2018-06-27T11:47:06+00:00 I have similar problem started just recently.
Epson WF-2660 (not especially old!)
Epson Scan, when run, appears on task bar but never opens a proper dialog window.
It can sometimes be closed by right click "Close window" but takes at least two attempts and then the windows "trying to solve.." dialog needs to be clicked away.
About a quarter the time it can't be closed and hangs THE WHOLE OF WINDOWS (10) which shouldn't even be possible these days! Then it takes a 12 second button press to stop the machine.
Tried uninstalling all Epson programs and drivers, re-installed from scratch and still no change.
Tried "compatibility mode" but no improvement there.
Tried running as Admin but no difference.
It seems to be completely broken.

2018-06-12T16:49:20+00:00 Ditto re the software updater - had to manually run it to get it to update - and software listed is under "Other useful software". Considering how long I've had this printer and never installed this useful software, one would argue it's not that useful ;-)
