recently upgrade to Win 11 and it generally seems ok.

1 issue though is that the action buttons on epson scan no longer show (preview, scan etc)

if you click on the area they should be they still work and then appear- which is great if you know where all the buttons are!

it worked perfectly fine the 10 min before i did the upgrade then had this issue immediately after.

so far only found the issue on this one app

any thoughts on resolution.

Dear All,

if you open Epson Scan, please press only "alt".

    The same happened to me when I updated the system to Windows 11. You just have to press the Alt button and the "Preview" and "Scan" options will appear.

    Steps 1-4 just fixed the buttons in Epson Scan for my Workforce Pro GT-S55 (circa 2012). :

    Some buttons are missing in the Epson Scan software. What should I do?

    • You can press the Alt key on your keyboard to see the buttons. Epson released a fix for some products in November of 2021, so this may no longer be necessary. Several solutions are available. Some legacy products will not receive an update. To determine which solution applies to your product, do the following:
      1. Go to the Epson Support page and select your product.
      2. Select the Downloads tab, if necessary.
      3. Select Windows 11 in the Operating System drop-down box, if necessary.
      4. Do one of the following:
        • If Epson Scan is dated November 2021 or later, download and install the software. With this version you will no longer need to use the Alt key to display the buttons.
        • If the date is earlier, check if the Epson Scan Common Updater for Windows 11 software is available for your product. If it is, use it to update your version of Epson Scan. This will update your version of Epson Scan so you no longer need to use the Alt key to display the buttons.
        Note: If Epson Scan is dated earlier than November 2021 and the Epson Scan Common Updater for Windows 11 software is not available for your product, continue to use the Alt key on your keyboard to see the buttons in Epson Scan.
