    Saving a scanned file.


    When I scan an item a go to save the scan and a window comes up saying "Saving scanned image to file." But it keeps going and going and going trying to save a scan. I end up having to restart my computer and redo my scan. Is there something I can do to stop this from happening. Sometimes I have to restart my computer 2 times.

    :)

    All files are saving as PDF

    Hello Microsoft Community!

    I am having an issue that just started today, very strange and annoying. All of my files are saving in PDF format, no matter the original program or the "Save As" selection. It is still showing up in the file explorer as a PDF. Below are a few steps that I have taken to attempt to resolve the issue. If anyone has any suggestion or insight that may be helpful, I am all ears. Thank you!

    • Attempted conversion from the original program and also Adobe - no luck with this.
    • Attempted to save the file in a different location, both cloud and local. No resolve.
    • Ran anti-virus to check for anything harmful. Clean scan.
    • Ran SFC to check for corrupt files. Scan located and repaired files.
    • Went into the default program settings. No changes were need there.
    • My pc and all programs are up to date.

      Again, any help or suggestion is helpful.

      Thank you kindly!

    Saving a scanned file.

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
