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?

    Dear

    An update, after I uninstalled all of brothers software and used ccleaner to delele what is left from Brothers in the Windows registry, rebooted and used again CC cleaner , to check for Brothers registry's present, and some found , then last reboot and last check with CC fount nothing anymore.

    So days later I decedid to install the complete software, supports windows 11 , for my Brother ADS 2800W scanner.

    Of course the same issue, in device manager the driver and device were to be seen, but in the scanners and camera's nothing to see.

    So I combines all solutions here and it was fixed.

    Without rebooting in between, as first time if did not succeed.

    So I opened device manager: disabled the device, manually installed the driver, as the brother driver was already installed in the frist full software, it was the first and only driver I could see, after selecting that I myself want to select a driver in my pc.

    So I reintalled it , directly after installed the full software, with my windows open from device manager and scanners and camera's.

    AFter the driver was manually reinstalled, the scanner showed in the scanner and camera's.

    I dit not reboot the laptop after I manually reinstalled the driver, as was mentioned in the steps in one of the replies.

    So I tested Control center4: this time it does not crashed or freezes but opens and then used Control center 4 to scan a document: works .

    I then tried to scan from the scanner itself using the pre installed short cut: I could't find the pc, but I changed the setting of this shortcut and could select my laptop (that was not long ago completely formated with an image of lenovo, so I had to install 24H2, as it was an old image).

    and even scanning from the scanner , worked perfect.

    I rebooted the laptop and tested again, no issue, and still my scanner to be seend in scanners and camera's.

    Thanks for al the support.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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:

    https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/187053/~/unable-to-scan-or-install-the-scanner-driver-after-updating-windows-11---usb-or?utm_roi=idz&utm_campaign=aa5aae70-4f06-49c7-9b55-0d85ef88fc10&utm_source=whatsappConversation

    They said in month february it will be solved.

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