There are plenty of free scanning utilities available online you can use with your scanner, below is a link to a free app on the Microsoft Store īrother and HP knew this was going to happen and neither of them have provided an updated utility for the users of their printers Many people are reporting the same problem, you are correct, this is caused by end of support for the Adobe Flash Player, and that Brother ControlCenter3 is based on the Flash PlayerĪdobe announced the end of Flash 2 years ago and gave all developers, including Brother, 2 years to change the functionality of their software, Brother have not updated their software, I have checked and so far, Brother have not released a new version of that software.

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this. I have searched for something to replace it but I'm not finding anything that sounds like it's for a printer. Me (a) if this is why my scanner no longer works and (b) a way to fix it or (c) a different program to use in place of the Control Center 3. I have uninstalled the printer, installed it back on, done all that I can think of with no success. And I'm pretty sure that was how the Control Center 3 opened/operated. To be maybe the removal of the Flash program. In doing a LOT of reading, I believe the issue It was working up to I believe January 16th, but as of January 18th, after getting a Microsoft update for Windows 10, this program no longer works. It uses a programĬalled Control Center 3 which operates the scanner to my printer. Anyway, I have a Brother Printer MFC-J415W model. I wasn't going to post this here but I'm stuck and since it was Microsoft's update that caused the issue, I thought I might see if you had any suggestions, even if it's a different software.
