    Windows FAX & SCAN erratic send.


    Some receiving machines do not recognise a Windows FAX and the "send" times out with Fax Monitor error "-- -- failed to respond ." I know there is a connection as I hear dial out and opening chatter from recipients machine.

    The occurance of a FAX not being sent is consistant with those recipients while there is no problem with other recipients.


    The subject is Faxes over landline using a fax\talk modem

    Erratic Scan Issue

    If you have not done so suggest you run the software removal tools for AVG and any other antivirus program that was ever on the computer to include a trial version of McAfee, Norton, whatever that may have on the computer when
    it was purchased.     List of
    anti-malware product removal tools



    I have only used AVG on my computer. I don’t think there are trial versions of other antivirus programs, I uncheck these options when downloading softwar.

    I did find a McAfee folder under Programs, it was empty and I deleted folder.

    Is it critical to use the AVG removal tools?

    Howtogeek.com suggests using Malwarebytes with Defender, is this necessary?

    article but ignore the ads    !



    I found the howtogeek site last week and the information on Defender has been very helpful.



    Window Defender periodically runs an “automatic” Quick Scan every week or ten days on my Win 10 and notifies me after doing so with an unobtrusive message from the right lower corner of the taskbar.



    My version of Defender hasn’t notified me yet but I only set it up 5 days ago.
    It has found Hacktool:Win32 on March 22nd and 23rd and say it is Medium level.



    You mentioned “erratic scans” and spontaneous shutdowns. Are these shutdowns/reboots occurring during default automatic scans (see above) or during scheduled or manual scans that you are conducting?



    “Erratic scans” is probably not the cause of my daily shut downs.
    Shut downs started November 2017 (shortly after installing Office 2016) and I was using AVG not Defender.
    I was grasping at a straw when I saw erratic scans because I’m having erratic shut downs.
    ☹

    Windows FAX & SCAN erratic send.

    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.
