    New Computer, Reconditioned, Camera "not yet connected to the computer"


    My camera isn't working. When I open it as an app, it says, "We can't find your camera." Under the device manager I couldn't find the camera until I checked hidden devices, then it seemed to be there. I auto-updated drivers, apparently successfully, but still no camera.


    When I open "Properties" it says, "This device is not yet connected to the computer Error 45."


    I went through the virtual assistant, and no fixes work although I didn't try manufacturer's website for drivers because I don't know who that is. I'm looking for the camera that came with the computer. At least there's a little hole there, and it appears as an App when I search for "Camera."


    What's my next move?

    :)

    Polaroid iE826 camera not getting detected when connecting it to the computer

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please reply to the following questions to help you further:

    • Are you able to locate the Camera in File Explorer?
    • Have you tried connecting it to a different port?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Are you aware of any changes on the computer recently?

    I suggest you to update the Chipset drivers and check if that helps in resolving the issue. Please visit the support site of the computer manufacturer to download and update the Chipset drivers.

    Hope it helps.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

    Hi Declan,

    The issue you are experiencing might be due to an outdated or incompatible device driver.

    We would like to know more about your camera concern. Kindly answer the following questions:

    • Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
    • Has connecting the Microsoft LifeCam to your Windows 10 computer ever worked before?

    • On the Start menu, type Troubleshoot and then hit
      Enter.

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
