Run Diagnostics

First, locate the scan app icon at the bottom right area of your screen (system tray/notification area). Right click on the scan app icon to bring up the menu and click 'Diagnostics' to launch scan app diagnostics.

Once the diagnostics dialog appears, you can click the 'Start' button to start the diagnostics process.
