Windows 10: Windows 10 not compatible with CanoScan 4400F.

After updating to Windows 10, my scanner did not work. I have seen a possible solution but misplaced the directions. Can anyone help me? I need a scanner and the CanoScanner 4400F has been very useful until Windows 10 update.

The solution that works for me is the following:

• Install the windows 8 compatible version of the Canon driver according to the instructions.
• Connect the scanner
• PC will install further drivers
• To scan I use Acrobat Reader 9 Pro; select Create document from scan, place your document to be scanned, hit the OK button and a few moments later you have a PDF-file with the scanned image.
• So far this has been the only way I found to obtain scans from my good old Canoscan 4400F

Finally I have discovered the problem of why the Canoscan 4400F works sometimes and not always with my Lenovo Z50-70. It only works when plugged into the USB 2.0 sockets,
not the USB 3.0 ((blue) sockets. Can't explain why this should be so but the effect is NOT random.

My Canoscan 4400F performed properly on my Lenovo Z50-70 with Windows 10 for several weeks until last night when Windows 10 was updated. Now it is absolutely useless with the Canon Software and also using the Windows 10 scanner app.

Microsoft on this website, claims compatibility for the Canon 4400F with Windows 10 both for the 32 and 64 bit versions. Canon emphatically claims that there is no driver available for Windows 10. Seems like they are both right because the scanner did work
until last night.

Does anyone have a solution?
