    saving a scanned document


    ever since I upgraded to windows 10 my scanner saves my documents to Onedrive and makes them impossible to find. I uninstalled Onedrive but my scans are still being saved in Onedrive. How do I change that?

    scanned documents

    Hello,

    By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

    • Press Windows and type pictures
    • Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

    Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

    link    .

    Let us know how that turned out for you.
