Windows 10: Settings & Camera Open for 2 -5 Seconds then diappear

I have restarted my computer multiple times. It says that I do not need an update. I do not have any apps running which say "not responding". Microsoft edge seems to crash after a minute of use. Chrome is working well. Cortana and my search bar do not work either.

Windows 10 Camera Opens, but closes in 5 Seconds

MS-Windows 'Camera Window' opens, but only for about 5 Seconds, then closes.

Haven't previously used the Windows Camera on my Laptop. (Rely on my Tablet). Today, pinned Windows Camera to Task Bar, checked 'Settings\Privacy\Camera' set to 'Allow Access'
and that Settings\Camera shows 'Camera Switched On'.

Every time I attempt to use the Camera, a Window Opens displaying it, but only for about 5 Seconds, then closes.

During the 5 Seconds the Window stays open, I tried clicking the Camera Settings Cog (which responds by opening to show a list of settings) but the Camera Window still closes before anything else can be done / clicked. (Can't keep it open for longer than 5
Seconds, literally).

Running latest 64bit Windows 10 Professional on an elderly Sony VAIO Laptop (9 Years Old). Everything else working fine, as far as I can tell. Thoughts? (Thanks in advance for any Comments).

Why does my Camera App Crash?

I will just open the camera app and it will load and display for a second or two. Then it will diappear and go back to the app screen.
