Windows 10: getting my camera back online

can someone please tell me how to reinstall the built in camera on my Dell laptop? I've read that it may have disappeared with Windows 10.

:)

 

Which Camera to get?

I know, but atleast give the guy a DECENT point and shoot, I've been working in a camera shop and out of my experiences most of those suggested are downright absurd, get a decent bridge camera or yesteryears DSLR.

 

Camera is not working on Windows 10 and getting error code " 0xA00F4244(0xC00D36D5)".
