Print and Scan Doctor will not run on a Windows 10K machine

[Seafrog]

Tell me what to do when Print and Scan Doctor doesn't come up when I click on it in the downloads folder.  Task Manager shows it is running but it doesn't do ANYTHING.  When I click on it again Windows 10 tells me there is another instance running.  Something ain't right.  This is version 5.0 of Print and Scan Doctor.

Hi @Seafrog,

Thank you for posting on HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I see from the post that you are having issues with the Print and Scan Doctor not working on your Windows 10 PC. Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,

I understand that we had an issue with the HP PSDR 5.0. This was a temporary glitch while upgrading from the 4.9 version to the 5.0 version.  I believe the issue is now fixed and you can download the correct PSDR 5.0 version from here:  http://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/hppsdr/HPPSdr.exe

You can confirm based on the size of the Binary File (10.3 MB). Just download and execute the file found there and disregard first the self-update screen that comes up.

Alternatively, if you have any issues with your printer that needs our attention, I would be more than happy to assist you 

Let me know if that helps! 

Good luck

The version available at the link you provided is 10.1 MB not 10.3.  I downloaded the HPPS Dr from that link and it is doing exactly what it was doing before: NOTHING.  All symptoms are exactly the same.  When I click on it again I get the message that it is already running. 

Thanks for the attempt,

Bernie

Found a copy of 4.9 and installed it.  Seems to work perfectly on a Windows 10 machine.
