2. Enable Services
Scanning devices use various Windows services which, if not enabled, can cause issues that interrupt the scanning process and show this error. You can try enabling all the scanning-related services to ensure that all the required services are enabled and are not the root cause of this issue.
3. Update Drivers
Outdated drivers can cause issues while working, so updating drivers to the latest version will allow the hardware device to work properly, as most bugs are fixed in the latest versions.
4. Clean Boot
Third-party software can interrupt the hardware devices and cause interruptions in their operation. Clean booting Windows will disable all third-party applications and services installed on the computer. This will ensure that no third-party software is causing problems with the scanning device.
