Do you know what interfaces the scanner hardware supports (TWAIN, WIA, ISIS or SANE)?
Are you running your VB in 32 or 64 bit?

There are a variety of SDK/APIs that will support Windows 10 VB.Net, some better than others but most require a license of some kind to use commercially.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I mean I have archive application (I wrote the code) that can capture image from scanner now and its working fine with windows 7. However, as you know windows 7 reach to end of live by January 2020. I tried the application on windows 10 and found that the application scanner not working so I will need to update the code for the user that have computer running windows 10 on their machine

The scanners are HP 7500 and HP 3500f and they are support TWAIN, WIA, ISIS.

Thanks
