Windows 10: FIX Microsoft Windows 11 Home issue of Scanning

Please have Microsoft fix the Windows 11 Home issue of repeatedly requesting "GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1" This clearly is a Windows 11 issue since the Epson did not have this problem while I used Windows 10 Pro. Bought a surface laptop with Win 11: I am regretting it.

2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
