WS1065: Computer does not see scanner using widows 11

[GeorgeA67]

I may have missed something but my scanner is not being seen by my computer. Does anyone know of how/where the divers can be downloaded. Or is there something else I need to do. Any help will be appreciated. Using an HP computer with windows 11

I just got a refurb Lenovo L13 that came to me running Win11 - big headaches.

It originally shipped with 10, so when I upgraded the SSD, I then upgraded to Windows 10, and haven't had a problem since. Everything works fine (except some legacy stuff I haven't had the opportunity to replace, but that's what VMs are for. . .)

Check your support site and see if Win10 drivers are available - I'm willing to bet that they are. I'd do a rollback upgrade to Win10 - Win11 is a headache and a bugpack rolled into one (and I've had a permanent migraine since late 2006, I really don't need anything to make it worse.)

Windows development peaked at Win2k - they should have stopped there. Win7 was comparable, they've been going downhill since. Too many "creature features" clogging up the works, making it difficult to do what you wanted to do (that's what I liked about 2k - you could lift the hood, figure out what you did want and turn it on, what you didn't want and turn it off, close the hood, and get back to serious work. Took a little longer to set up that way, but you more than made up for it in productivity gains.

(In the first month.)

I did find divers that seem to be working OK, time will tell. Every time they "upgrade" for lack of a better word things seem to not work as well a lot of the time. Unfortunately, I am using a newer desktop with only win 11 but I did keep my older unit which has win 10 if needed.

Just in case someone else has this problem I was able to download drivers at ftdichip.com.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm glad you were able to find drivers, but I still say that Win10 is an upgrade from Win11. I have yet to find any redeeming qualities of Win11.

You can ask AI how to turn off the Win11 Nag on your Win10 PC so it doesn't pester you anymore - I don't have my notes handy, and it's different for different iterations of Win10 (Pro/Home/&c.)

Same - holding off upgrading any of my windows 10 machines as long as possible.

If only those b'nai zonim would understand that. "New" isn't always "improved," and not release anything until it at leased worked properly. . .

I still using Win7 on my main PC. Everything since has been a clear step backwards though I have to use it on other PCs.
