I have Windows 11 on my laptop but apparently the Windows Fax and Scan app is not loaded on it. Can I get that from Windows and install it?

    Windows Fax and Scan is not preinstalled on Windows 11, version 22H2 and later. Therefore, you cannot install it directly from Windows as it is not available as a built-in feature on your version of Windows 11. You may need to look for alternative solutions for faxing and scanning capabilities.
