    Epson Scan Won't Launch


    I recently did an HP and windows update and since then my Epson Artisan 837 Scan won't launch. The printing works fine and when I go to Epson Settings and run a test it communicates with the scanner, passes and shows it's connected to the network. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the scanner and the entire printer. I even tried a system restore back to a date I knew it worked. I've troubleshot the compatibility and nothing works.


    Every time I click on the Epson scan icon it asks If I want the app to make changes to my device and when I click yes it doesn't do anything.


    Does anyone have any advice other than reinstalling bc that doesn't work?


    I have an HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14m-cd0xx

    63bit os, x64-based processor


    Windows 10 Home



    Much appreciate the time taken to advise!

    :)

    Epson Scan Crashes - Epson Perfection V700 Scanner

    I just tried a later suggestion and it worked great for me:
    On my Dell PC, right clicked Epson scan shortcut and selected "Run as administrator" ...
    A tiny pain to remember each time I'm selecting the scanner shortcut, but much less pain than the problems I was experiencing!!!

    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.
