wia driver

Hi Jan,

An outdated scanner driver is one of the possible reasons why your scanner needs a WIA driver in Windows 10. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

• Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the
  Windows key, type winver, and press the
  Enter key.
• Do you have a third-party security software installed?

Meanwhile, I would suggest that you download and install the latest scanner driver from the manufacturer's website of your device. You can follow the steps in this

Forum Article that was provided by Andre Da Costa and go to the section,
How to find and download drivers from the manufacturers website.

We'll be looking forward to your reply.
