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.

    All,

    Please try Epson software updater!

    we got an recent driver update 3.9.3.3 today. Hope that has fixed this issue already.

    Some have had success uninstalling and reinstalling their Epson drivers. Its quite possible that in the meantime Microsoft will supply a patch. If running as administrator does not work and you can't revert to a previous version of Windows, I would suggest the following.

    Run Windows update to get the latest patches

    Uninstall the Epson Derivers

    Reboot

    Download the latest drivers from Epson and reinstall and reboot.

    Really, its in Epson's best interest to work with Microsoft to solve this issue as it will affect their customer happiness and sales.

    Kind regards

    Chris

    Thanks Rolf. Do you have a link for this new driver? The Epson site still list the old 2013 driver 3.921. (Epson V700 Win 10 64 bit). Epson Updater only works for my printer and not my scanner.

    Hi Chris,

    I didn't have a chance to take a look at the official website but tried Epson software updater which is includes into the suit.

    You can reinstall the full package and update it online.

    Good luck.

    -Rolf
