    Windows Fax and Scan : the same good old issue : "Windows Fax and Scan cannot run as it...


    Hello ! I encounter the same issue with Windows Fax and Scan as many others do. When I try to launch it, this message pops up : "Windows Fax and Scan cannot run as it cannot access your documents folder. Please ensure that Windows Fax and Scan can access that folder."I tried all the solutions proposed here, but none of them work for me. I must add that my user have all the permissions for the "Documents" folder, and that Windows Fax and Scan works with users that I created on purpose for testing.Any new i

    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.

    Scanning old pictures

    There should not be any such limit.

    You may only need to "refresh" the window in which you are looking at the image files. Either press F5 (or click View > Refresh) or close and then re-open Windows Explorer.

    If refreshing the window doesn't help ....

    • Did you get any error message? If so, please provide the complete text of the message.

    • Please describe step-by-step, how you are scanning the pictures. Include the make and model of your scanner.
