app buttons missing in windows 11 - epson scan

Anonymous

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".

That link doesn't work anymore, but I found a new link with an updated patch that fixes the issue. Got no error message when I ran it, and it ran very fast. Helps if you hit "translate this page", if you don't read japanese.

This totally worked for me! What a crazy solution! Can't figure out how to scan if the scan button is missing? No problem! Just pretend that it's there and click on it. Bam!

best was to purchase VueScan it works great and goes far beyond on the epson menu. SHAME ON EPSON FOR NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE

Thanks for a solution, where I had thought there was none.
