Updated: I contacted Xerox technical support. Turns out Microsoft did an update #1803 in early May, 2018 which somehow broke the ability to use the scanner via USB cable if your computer is using Windows 10. Xerox worked with Microsoft to create a patch called win10_rs4_patch_220618 which Xerox technical support can send you. Don't know why they don't put it on their website as a download. For some reason the tech guy couldn't get the email with the zipped patch file to come through my email (both work and yahoo.com versions), so he finally emailed me a link to a WeTransfer site, which worked. I had the problem with my work laptop using Windows 10 Pro. My personal laptop using Windows 10 Home still works with the scanner, but I am not sure if it is just because I use my personal laptop infrequently and maybe it has not yet downloaded the MS #1803 update yet. In any case, the glitch only affected USB connection, and I was able to make the scanner work using WiFi connection even without the patch.
