Win 11 ver. 24H2 causing Brother scanning driver install to fail. How to fix?

Hi All,

I have a Brother DCP-7065DN multi-function machine, connected to my Windows 11 desktop computer. I was having some problems with a label printer and pursuant to that I disinstalled the Brother software and re-installed it. Since the re-install, the Brother printer driver installed but the scanner driver installation failed. I've tried multiple times.

Brother has noted this as a problem with Windows 11 Version 24H2. (See attached link.)

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    and to add info

    I also talked with Brother support

    the confirmed it's an issue caused by 24H2 update from Microsoft.

    this article was send to me:

    They said in month february it will be solved.

    How to check this if Microsoft is going to solve it after two days?

    Version 24H2 was released on October 1st. If Microsoft hasn't fixed it in the 120 days (4 months) since release, what makes Brother support think Microsoft will fix it in February? I would guess earliest it will be fixed is with version 25H1. Seems a release date hasn't been announced as yet.

    Hi. The reason I said to use Ccleaner as much as possible in between is because it helped me. Lots of uninstalling, installing and running CCleaner. I don't know what the problem was. I do know that it is now resolved and my scanner works, but not with ControlCenter4, but with iPrint&Scan. I can't help you further. Sorry.

    This workaround with the very basic scanner app worked on my computer. I encountered the same issue with a brother MFC-J480DW. It printed but could not scan even with Windows Protected Mode turned off in Windows 11. Thank you for finding and sharing this solution. Its good enough to get through until a "hopefully" more permanent solution is available. I'd hate to give up what has been a very reliable and trusty printer/scanner

    Thank you to whoever posted this. It worked like a charm. My Brother DCP-L2540DW will now scan from the Control Center and directly from the printer/scanner.
