Great tip for you printer. Unfortunately that software does not work for the V600 scanner.

Resolved for me, want to share with the Community:
Forget about the Epson interface and instead download and use the "Windows Scan" app here:
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3pv?amp%3Bgl=US&hl=en-u.s&gl=US
Once I did that my Epson DS-510 started working again. You select what device you want to use, either printers or scanners. Your scanner should appear in the dropdown list if is connected.
Some history: I had updated to Windows 11 in November 2023, and for about half a year I was able to use the DS-510 like previously. My Epson DS-510 mysteriously stopped working in May-June of 2024. In that timespan I had installed some Windows 11 updates.
Today I spent over 1 1/2 hours on the phone with Epson support and they tried to help but couldn't figure it out. Also in the course of that call we came across an option to use a Microsoft scanning app "Windows Scan," but the Epson tech said to ignore that and kept looking for other solutions.
Finally one of them said why don't you call Microsoft? It seemed to make sense to me that the problems was related to the Windows 11 update in May-Jun, since that coincided with the Epson no longer working. Then suddenly I said to myself why not at least try the Windows Scan app, and that turned out to solve the problem!

I have had this issue with both a functional Epson V600 scanner and a Canon printer (a real workhorse) - both since a Microsoft upgrade in March 2025. It seems the source of the issue is Microsoft - not Epson or Canon as both show Connection checked for both devices but printing / scanning not working.

2025-05-07T14:21:26+00:00 It's May 2025, I am using Windows 11 and my Epson scanner won't work. The driver won't even extract. There's been no workaround that works for me.
