Since updating to Windows 11, the only way I seem to be able to get my scanner to work is using Windows Scan. Unfortunately, I can't see any way to scan multiple pages into the PDF I am trying to create. I used to be able to do this using my scanner's functions but since updating to Windows 11, the scanner can't seem to connect to my PC via the scanner's buttons. Does anyone know a way around this?

    Just an update on how I am coping with scanning since updating to Windows 11...

    Brother released a Windows 11 driver for my combination printer/scanner/copier which I downloaded from the Brother website. I replaced the driver and now the scanner works via an app that is included in the download and I can scan multiple pages into one document.

    When I first looked there was no driver for Windows 11 available but a few months later, when I looked again, the driver was available so I suggest that if you have the same problem go to the website of your scanner's manufacturer to see if they have a Windows 11 driver available for your scanner yet. If not, try looking again on a regular basis in case one becomes available in the future.

    Any luck finding an app for Epson scanners? I have not been able to find one to date and thus continue to face the same problem in terms of creating PDF documents using Windows 11 and an Epson printer/scanner..

    I cannot even get windows scan or any built in scan function to scan a document as a PDF
    from my Epson WF-3530, let alone multiple pages.

    I spent a lot of money on a Windows 11 laptop that completly fails this simple business task.

    The EXPERT above i think is talking about a previous version of Windows.

    Anyone got any idea how I can scan to PDF?
