Envy 5530 and OJ Pro 8620
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Officet Pro 8620 suddenly did not scan anymore, probably Win10-related. After 7 hours of trying in vain to fix the problem by removing all HP software and re_installing the latest software etc. several times. I called HP Support per telephone. They could not solve the problem in a telephone session of more than 2 hours. I also have a HP Envy 5530 AiO. After re-installing that software, that also does not scan anymore.. What is going on and what can I do now? I have followed all the instructions, several times.

I'd suggest you to try the HP SMART APP for windows 10.

HP Smart solved the problem that I suddenly and unexplicably had with scanning on mu two HP printers. Thankfully, scanning is now again possible on both All-in-Ones on a very basic level. For instance, it is not possible to set and save any options and preferences, like in the original full-feature software of the printer/scanners. But, for the moment, I am really happy.

So; Thank You! (But why didn't anybody of HP Support give me this information?!)

Glad to read that you are able to scan. 

Have a great day.
