Did you check with Epson for Win 10 drivers?

I take it you did an upgrade to 10? You didn't say. When upgrading you need to check for compatible drivers, and it sounds like that's your problem.

Generally, we don't recommend to use driver update programs like you link to, since all are free from the makers site already and there hardly ever is a need to update drivers if they work to your satisfaction. Do you agree with such a policy?
