Hello everyone
I have an Acer laptop running Windows 10 and a 4-in-1 Epson that refuses to scan what I ask it to
How can I scan again?? Thank you all for your help

I advise you to completely uninstall the Epson Scan driver/software and use the "Generic Epson" driver that Windows 10 will automatically install. Then use Windows Fax & Scan (Windows key + R then
wfs
) or this software that is 100 times more intuitive than most, simple and complete: https://scanmanager.muet.fr/, which is free and seems to be of French design! Then go to the options and select the generic Epson driver if it is displayed!

Epson doesn't care about older models, the new scanners have the next-generation Epson Scan, while the older models (which were released at the time of Windows 8.1 or before) are left with bugs and an Epson Scan worthy of the 2000s... it's pathetic on their part; it doesn't even work well on Windows 10, except to crash the PC and show that the scanner is not connected one time out of two!! Whereas on Windows 7 and 8, there are no issues; it's not Microsoft's fault, but Epson's for letting this software stagnate for 15 years, which is the same without major updates (except for the latest models!!!)
I had been struggling with this for weeks, uninstalling, reinstalling, unplugging, etc., without finding a definitive solution! And now everything works with this software and the generic driver... I hope to help.
