No WIA and Twain after Windows 10 / 11 Update in Scan to PDF, why!


Not only at HP but also at Canon, Epson, ... there are scanner problems under MS Windows 10 / 11!

1.) ... WIA and Twain don't work info!
2.) ... The scan worked without any problems with WIA, but not with TWAIN!




1.) WIA and Twain don't work info!

 
Info: This is a common problem, W10/11 removes the scanner driver at update!

However You can look for an appropriate scanner driver for Window 7 that will work on Windows 10/11. You can easily and safely use these scanner drivers also for all versions of Microsoft's Windows 10/11 operating systems, whether it's a Windows Desktop, Tablet, Surface Pro / Go, or even a server operating system. A correct Windows restart is usually sufficient and it is back! 

Or see Troubleshooting : ... HP Laserjet III, 4, 5, Plus, Driver x64, x32, Windows 10/11!

This scanner is not there anymore Problem is often associated with WinScan2PDF and it affects the TWAIN and Windows WIA  interface and there is no scanner in the program.

Please use  ... always the latest version of WinScan2PDF !

2.) The scan worked without any problems with WIA, but not with TWAIN!


Advance information!



It is usually a driver problem that needs to be fixed, corrupt, incorrect, damaged, ... etc drivers.  

Solution from Win-Scan-2-PDF users!



The problem persisted permanently, but I have since been able to solve it...

Apparently a corrupt TWAIN driver (presumably due to a Windows 10 update) caused WinScan2PDF to hang during initialization and not display a dialog. The Adobe Acrobat had a similar problem: as soon as the scanner was searched, the application froze.

After a lot of trial and error, I installed the TWAIN driver manually again. WinScan2PDF could then at least be started. When I tried to scan via TWAIN, I got an error message about an initialization problem (both with WinScan2PDF and with Acrobat). The error message looked the same in each case, so it probably came from the driver itself.

The scan worked without any problems using WIA, but not using TWAIN.

Finally, I came across a problem in some forums that Windows 10 was probably corrupting the TWAIN interface somehow.

https://www.borncity.com/blog/2018/06/04/windows-10-scanner-macht -problems-after-update/

I got a "patch" from HP/Samsung that had some kind of "device monitor" - and with this "patch" TWAIN worked again: win10_rs4_patch.exe WinScan2PDF was then able to

scan via TWAIN again without any problems.

So it was a very specific problem. But I describe it in such detail because other users with HP/Samsung printers could also be affected.
