I have been unable to use the SCAN function of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 since the latest Windows 10 update.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If you are referring to "HP Scan", part of the full driver printer software,

Try / Consider ---

 

Remove / Add the printer using the previously installed printer software.

This will work as long as the installed printer software is still "OK" (not corrupted).

What?  It's possible that Windows Update just "tangled" the driver setup without actually destroying the installed software.

OR

Uninstall the existing printer software > Restart computer > Install a fresh copy of the software.

This generally works as long as the network is stable and the software can be reloaded using the current network setup.

 

==============================

Printer Software - Remove / Add using installed printer software

==============================

Printer Software - Install - Full Feature Software

 

If you have not done so, consider

 

If the software is already installed and you want to "reinstall":

Uninstall the printer software from Programs and Features

Restart the computer and log in

Check that all the pieces of the printer software have been removed - if anything is deleted, Restart computer and log in

 

Next,

Download, Save, (then) Install new copy of the printer software

After the software in installed, Restart the computer and log in
