Although officially the Canon CanoScan LiDE 100 scanner is non supported on Windows ten or on Windows 11, I take found that it is fully functional. This commodity describes the versions of Windows I take tested the scanner with along with any observations.

A recent Windows Update disables Device Managing director from being able to install drivers, see Installing on Windows 10 2004 and above for information on using Windows Update to install the driver

Notes

The scanner is fully supported via WIA without needing whatsoever additional software installation, bar the driver
In order for the scanner hardware buttons to work (Copy, Scan, Pdf, E-mail) you lot will need to install the MP Navigator EX software (the Windows 8.1 version works fine on Windows x and is bloat costless). With that said, I've only tested the PDF functionality and not anything else. Thank you to commentator Gerard for notifying me this software worked. Notation I have currently only tested this software on Windows 10 1909 and Windows 10 20H2
I accept done express testing with the TWAIN API using Windows 10 20H2

Installing on Windows eleven

I have tested the below process using a fresh installation of Windows eleven Pro (21H2) on a Surface Pro 6. These steps likewise work for the CanoScan LiDE 220, something which is supported in Windows xi but again, no automatic driver installation.

Make sure the scanner is plugged in
Open up the Settings application
Click Windows Update from the sidebar
Click Bank check for updates
When the check completes, click Avant-garde Options
Whorl down the Additional Options department and click Optional Updates
Expand Driver Updates
Check Canon - Scanner - CanoScan LiDE 100
Click Download and Install

The cease of the article shows some screenshots of the installation process.

Installing on Windows ten 2004 and to a higher place

I recently picked up another Surface Pro 2 from eBay and thought I would examination the scanner on this with a fresh install of Windows. I installed 21H1 and plugged the scanner in simply noted that it did non initialise and checking Device Manager showed the device was detected, just no driver was installed. The following steps permit me use the scanner again

Brand sure the scanner is plugged in
Open the Settings application
Click Update & Security
Click Check for updates
When the cheque completes, a new View optional updates link should be displayed - click this
Expand the Driver updates node
Bank check the Canon - Scanner - CanoScan LiDE 100 option

Subsequently a few minutes your scanner should whirr into life. I tested using paint.cyberspace and had no trouble scanning an image. So although it is non as easy as it used to be, thanks Microsoft for introducing such an unnecessary step, information technology is still usable on the latest versions.

Background (original from article published in 2019)

The drivers folio for the Catechism CanoScan LiDE 100 scanner states that the scanner is non supported in Windows 10 (either 32 or 64 scrap). As far as Canon is concerned, information technology is officially supported from Windows 2000 to Windows 8.1, and also on Bone X 10.5 - 10.10. Despite this, it works fine on Windows 10.

Even though no drivers are available to download, I recently plugged i of these scanners into my Windows x x64 desktop (version 1809). To my surprise, Windows Update kicked in and download a prepare of drivers and so the scanner was partially operational.

What do I mean past partial? I was able to browse using the Windows Epitome Acquisition framework (WIA) from several applications. Withal, none of the buttons on the forepart of the scanner are operational - when viewing the properties of the device the backdrop page states that no applications are registered that can employ the buttons. For me, this isn't a problem as I generally only scan pictures and so far oasis't needed any OCR facilities.

I'm posting this as I wasn't actually expecting the scanner to piece of work. This is the second flatbed scanner I've bought over the long years, the commencement one was in the Windows 9x era (also a Canon) and, if memory serves, the scanner simply didn't work with Windows NT then one time I'd moved onto Windows 2000 information technology was an unusable brick.

I bought this scanner 2d manus from eBay and based on Canon'south website and my personal experience of that previous scanner, I assumed that information technology wouldn't work with my Windows 10 machines. While waiting for it to be delivered I dug out an erstwhile and frankly not very practiced netbook and stuck Windows 7 on it. While the scanner worked absolutely fine with this, I decided that I wanted to write a quick tool for performing chain scanning with as few user deportment equally possible. Given that trying to do real piece of work with that netbook is not feasible, I plugged the scanner into my desktop in the slim hope it would work then I could develop my tool. Happily for me, information technology did!

As long every bit I have this scanner and Windows ten I'll examination it again with each new Windows x upgrade and volition update this post if the compatibility status changes.
