How to Fix Scanner Not Working in Windows 10
0If your scanner isn't working on Windows 10 or 11, there could be several reasons behind it. Here's how to troubleshoot the issue and get your scanner working again.
First, check the physical connection of the scanner. Ensure that all cables are securely connected. If possible, try replacing the cable to see if that resolves the issue. Once you're sure the physical connection is fine, you can move on to checking your computer settings.
On your Windows device, go to *Settings* and navigate to *Bluetooth & Devices**. From there, click on **Printers & Scanners**. If your scanner doesn’t appear automatically, click on **Add Device* to manually add your printer or scanner. If it’s still not showing up, you can try to add the device manually by selecting the option to *Add Manually* and entering the scanner details.
If the scanner is still not working, click on the *Troubleshoot* button in the same section. The troubleshooter will scan for any problems and suggest fixes for your printer or scanner. Lastly, check for any available Windows updates, as updating your system can often resolve driver or compatibility issues.
