  1. Windows Fax and Scan ‘Invalid Handle’


    Hi,I am having trouble with fax and scan after windows 11 update. I had to revert the update back to Windows 10 as a few of my pharmacy apps were not functioning properly on Windows 11. All the other apps were normal after Windows 11 was reverted back to 10, but WFS had problems. I can now receive faxes but not able to send any out. When I hit the send fax button, I get ‘Invalid Handle’ error message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling modem software and driver US Robotics, but it didn’t fix the problem. Any suggestions on what can be done?Thanks in advance.

    :)

Now it will take my password, start to log in and bring up my main screen but it blip then goes back to the sign in page where i put my password in it would give that 'invalid handle" message.

    Handle is Invalid message on Startup

    On Restart, I am getting a screen on the computer which gives my name and then the message "Handle is invalid" . When I press the "OK" button, the screen displays my login and asks for password. When I put in my Microsoft password, I get the same screen
    "Handle is Invalid". I can't get any further with the logon.

    I am running Windows 10 and have recently completed scans with McAfee and Webroot with no issues. Any suggestions?
