  If that is your main reason to want to remove 'Windows Fax and Scan',
then 1) the 'interfering' software was 'Windows Scan', i.e. *different*
software. which is an app (not normal program) which is installed from
the Microsoft Store and 2) without the 'Windows Scan' app, the 'problem'
does not occur. So no need to worry.

  FYI, on my Windows *11* system, the 'Windows Fax and Scan' component
is present and listed under Settings -> System -> Optional features, but
is *not* listed in the 'Start' menu [1]. So you do not see it, unless
you specifically search for it.

[1] You can *get* to it from the 'Start' menu, by selecting 'Windows
Tools' and then you will get a File Explorer windows listing all kinds
of Windows Tools. But 'Windows Fax and Scan' is *not* listed in the main
'Start' menu,
