    How do I remove Microsoft Scan and Fax features


    Recent automatic updates to my system installed the Scan and Fax features... I hate them... I need to scan documents from my HP office jet 8620 and the new features won't let me -- I had to re-install my printer /fax just to be able to print and once installed found that I can print ok, but scanning does not work..



    I removed the app but still cannot scan a document from my machine and have it save to a pdf file... even though the app configuration is set up to save the scan to a PDF file... It also doesn't save to the specified location set on the config...


    Help...

    :)

  3. Microsoft signals end of Paint program

    Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

    In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

    Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

    Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
