Unable to scan

[mikemc1013]

The Real Time Scanner has been "starting" for a few days and won't let me scan.  It says "Can't Scan Device. We're having trouble scanning right now. Please wait a few moments and try again. It has shown the same error for a few days.  I was also having the issue with the updates that have been discussed in other threads.  I  followed the steps listed and I think the issue has been resolved.  I have not seen the scanning issue discussed.

I am new to the board and am not sure what information I should provide to have the issue resolved.

I was able to play around with it and fix the issue.
