Scanner won't run on Windows 11

It’s been a while so can’t offer (remember) specifics. Suggest you look at past comments and try the recommended revisions.

Right now (holding my breath) no problem with scanner operation or behavior. It comes up differently, depending on whether or not it was on when turning on the computer, not a problem.

Good luck

I have a Brother MFC 9325 CW that won't scan. I had to get a third party app to use the scanner. It worked fine under Windows 10. I've gone through the entire process provided by brother. I had to bring in an expert to show me how to use another app on my desktop. I find it disturbing that Microsoft provides no solution.

I'm not aware of Windows 11 issues with Brother devices. As far as I know only Epson have Windows 11 issue.

If the scanner is on and then you start your computer it works fine. If you turn on the scanner while the computer is on then you need to restart the scanner windows service to make it work. This is true at least for me and couple of other people that I know.

What worked for me:

if the computer was on before turning scanner on

-Turn on scanner

-rebooted the computer

Since then,

Made recommended changes (can't recall exactly, w?? Comes to mind). Now, all relatively normal.

Thank you for the Alt trick to get the control buttons to show on the Epson Scan window! Before this I was guessing where the button should be and that one button would appear after clicking on the space.

It seems my Epson scanner issue has been fixed after Windows 11 22H2 upgrade.

MS broke invisible Alt+tab, but at least the scanner works fine now.
