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.

    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.
