Cannot connect to scanner

<< < (3/3)

Yes, it can in the form of a repair install that doesn't affect your personal stuff or installed programs.

This probably wouldn't change your scanner drivers though.

There is another option which is a Reset which has the option to retain your personal stuff but will remove all of your installed programs.

This will put an icon onto your desktop with a list of all of the programs it has removed.

My introduction to Windows 10 is proving to have a sharp learning curve. I created a username for and logged into Nvidia which auto upgraded my graphics driver but this was also also correlated with the loss of most of my taskbar set up, all the  data in my downloads folder, and many programs now need to be re-registered- adobe, office, etc. So I have to figure out if there's a way to tell Nvidia not to upgrade drivers automatically, to give me a chance to do a backup first. I still haven't solved the driver problem with my Epson scanner and I have installed and reinstalled the software that was pointed out above. Steve

Boggin:
Did Windows create a restore point before it updated your graphics drivers you could use to revert to the older driver ?

This may not revert your registration to Nvidia though.

This article may help in disabling the auto update -

Because of the Caronavirus Epson seemed to have closed down their help centres so you wouldn't be able to get any advice from them.
