Getting Error message" the MFC-7860DW LAN cannot be found" when scanning

This is the sloution!

After trying the solutions given here and at other sites I came to this solution that worked fine for me:
clearing in c:\users\"your own name"\appdata\local\temp the following files:
twain.log, twain001.mtx, twunk001.mtx and twunk002.mtx.
After this all worked again as expected, in Irfanview all my (possible) Twain-devices were given again to select from where before the selection box was empty.
Photocopier worked again and of course my Brother (DCP-J752DW) was reacting again with the cc4-control center!
Mind you: I have tried all other solutions inclusive de-installing and re-installing, clearing registry with CCleaner and so on with no succes so in my opinion:
The only thing you need to do is to clear the abovementioned files or anyothers with twain and twunk in the name and or with the mtx extension.
The reason for the problem? Probably somehow a security issue but how, why, when I don't know!
