Windows 10: Loading Canon PowerShot Camera SX40 to windows 10

I've been using Windows 7 until recently. I now have a new computer with Windows 10. How can I load my 8 year old Canon PowerShot SX40 HS to my new system. The disk will not load. My grandson found a driver online, but I want the system to be as it was on Windows 7. I have no soft wear to transfer the images and no utilities. This shouldn't be so hard, but I'm not finding a solution. Please help!


PS.....I'm a Grandmother and electronically challenged!

Canon Powershot camera not recognized correctly by Windows 10

Tried to transfer photos from my Canon PowerShot A3100 IS to my computer for the first time since upgrading to Windows 10. At first, I couldn't get the computer to recognize that the camera was even attached. I played around with it for a bit, and finally
it showed up. I was able to the camera recognized, but it didn't show up in the "hidden icons" window. Some more playing around and I was able to upload photos from the camera using the new Windows photo software, but I couldn't use the Canon photo software,
which didn't recognize that the camera was there. Help!

BTW, I have another camera, a Panasonic, and I've been successfully transferring photos using the Panasonic software since shortly after the upgrade. I had reinstalled both the Canon and the Panasonic software after the upgrade. I had to do a little bit
of work to get the Panasonic working, but it was nothing like what's happening with the Canon.

Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 won't let Canon Powershot be default editor

The latest Windows 10 update of 6/15/17 changed the settings for my Canon Powershot SX620. It took me hours to figure out how to even get the photos to upload from the camera to the computer.

The update removed the ability to edit through the Canon program and I don't want to use the Windows photo editor. It is clearly not as good of a program.

I have looked all through settings, devices and so on and cannot find anywhere to make the Canon program a default. The programs show on the apps list but not on the choices lists. It's very frustrating because I have photos I want to edit and I can't
do it.

All was fine until that blasted unnecessary update.

I downloaded the Canon driver again in case this was the issue and it was not.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

How can I get the Canon PowerShot A40 to work with Windows 10

Hi rmikey... seems they don't have a driver on their site for windows 10.

I would try contacting them (Canon) directly and see what they suggest.

See link.
