Windows 10: brother scanner blocked by windows 11

I am trying to install my new Brother ads-3300W scanner. Ihave been in contact with Brother and they are saying it is a Microsoft 11 issue. It is not being recognized. The Microsoft scan app works, but that is not what I want.

Brother scanner not working on Windows 11 Pro

I got a new computer running on Windows Pro 11, 64-bit (previously had Windows Home 10). I set up my Brother printer/scanner on the new desktop, but the scanner does not communicate with the computer. Brother does not make compatible drivers with Windows 11.

I received an error when I told Microsoft to download drivers. Then I read I needed to turn off memory integrity through core isolation which I did and the scanner still no longer works. I have the MFC-7840W. I can open the Microsoft utility and then it will tell the printer to scan, but only as a jpeg after a few steps.

I want the old setup of standing by my scanner, putting the document in the feed, and simply pressing scan to file and it appears on my computer in the scan folder. Is this no longer possible???

Brother scanner not working on Windows 11 Pro

I have the same issue with the MFC-7820N, I can print but I cannot scan.

Personally, I think that it's very sad that Brother is no longer supporting their older printers/scanners and no longer releasing drivers for Windows 11.

The only way to continue scanning in Windows 11 is to purchase VueScan at: Purchase VueScan for macOS, Windows, and Linux

They have a trial version but any document that you scan will have a huge watermark across it that reads: "Buy VueScan now! www.hamrick.com"
