Windows 10: Epson Scan Crashes - Epson Perfection V700 Scanner

I have an Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner and have not had any previous trouble with Windows 10. Recently Epson Scan started to crash. This happens when I click on any window outside the Epson scan interface and then click back into Epson scan. Then a blue circle starts turning forever. I have to close Epson scan using the task manager or by right clicking Epson scan in the taskbar/close and Windows will send an error report.

1- I have uninstalled the Epson Scan software and reinstalled the latest driver from the Epson Website for Win 10 64 bit.
2- I have tried to roll back to an earlier graphics card driver.
I have tried using a different USB cable plugged into a different port.

So far the problem continues. I suspect the problem could be due to the latest Windows feature update or maybe the Graphics card driver could be to blame.

Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this problem would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Chris.

Epson scanner will not work with latest windows 10 update

The first thing that I did was check to see if I had the most recent driver (which is dated 07/26/13). I downloaded it an installed it anyway. I also downloaded everything else they had available, but it didn't make a difference:

Epson Software Updater v4.4.6

• 03/26/18
• 6.26 MB
• ESU_4.4.6.exe

Epson Event Manager v3.10.88

• 03/05/18
• 16.5 MB
• EEM_3.10.88.exe

Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v3.921

• 07/26/13
• 39.57 MB
• epson15550.exe

Epson Copy Utility v4.1.1

• 07/25/13
• 6.47 MB
• epson16827.exe

The don't have a product program available for download:

How can I get a replacement CD for my product?

• 
  You can download the driver from the Downloads tab for your product.
  
  Note: Only the drivers are available for download. Any extra software that came with the product is only available on the CD.
  
  If you wish to obtain a replacement copy of the Software CD (stock permitting), please contact our Driver Fulfillment department at 562 276-4367 (US) or 905 709-3839 (Canada). A charge for shipping and handling plus any applicable taxes may apply.

I rolled back the update, and the scanner is working again.

Thank you for taking the time to try to help me fix the problem.

It worked for me. Hopefully, it will work for you as well.
