Happy to report the problem has now been resolved. I contacted Canon again but this time via email. I was given instructions and had it fixed within an hour.

ANSWER: You need to send the Canon tech support an email so they can provide the exact set of instructions to get your scanner to work with the toolbox.

Windows 10- Canon MF4350d Toolbox for scanner doesn't work - Problem solved when I uninstalled the newest version of printer driver and MF Toolbox I downloaded from Canon official website. Luckily I still keep the disc when I bought the printer. I reinstalled the original printer driver and Toolbox software came with driver. Scanner works perfect now.

Hello,

A member here asked for the instructions I received from Canon on how to fix the scanner issue. Note that I had added/removed the drivers afew times and lost track of what was done during the phone calls. In addition, this was in 2/2016 and it is possible that Canon added on a new driver to resolve this. It was a little involved which was why I recommend emailing Canon directly. Below is what I did to fix the issue and their 2/3/16 response.

"Since you have already uninstalled the drivers and MF Toolbox then downloaded and installed the Windows 10 drivers and MF Toolbox from the Recommended Downloads section on our web site, then changing a setting in Windows 10 should restore your ability to scan.  Please follow the steps below:

1.  Right click the Windows Start button and select Run.

2.  Enter (services.msc) without the parenthesis.

3.  Scroll down look for Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).

4.  Right click on it, then select Properties.

5.  Select the "Log On" tab.

6.  Select the radio button for “Local System account”.

7.  Check the box for “Allow service to interact with desktop”.

8.  Click OK."
