Inbuilt camera not working after November update

Hello
GöranSS,

Given the information you've provided where you state that you got your camera working prior to the November update, it sounds to me like the November update reinstalled a driver that doesn't work with your camera. Most likely the camera driver got replaced
with the generic webcam driver. I'd suggest you rollback to your previous driver and see if that corrects the problem. To do this:

How to rollback to previous driver:

• Right click on start button>Device Manager
• Under Imaging devices locate your camera, you may need to click the ">" to expand the list to see your camera
• Right click on the device name>Properties
• Click on Driver Tab
• Click the Roll Back Driver button

If that doesn't work, you can manually choose another driver already installed on your system and see if that works. To do this:

How to manually choose a previously installed driver:

• Right click on start button>Device Manager
• Under Imaging devices locate your camera, you may need to click the ">" to expand the list to see your camera
• Right click on the device name>Properties
• Click "Update Driver" button
• Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
• Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
• Select an older driver

You may need try several drivers to find the right one. Let us know if you've resolved the issue after you try these steps.

Thanks,

Tom

 

Since "updating" to windows 10, my Linx 10 tablet doesn't see the inbuilt cameras.

Since updating to windows 10 the inbuilt cameras on my linx 10 have stopped working.

To begin with the cameras would work intermittently and slowly got worse to the point now, that my tablet no longer sees them in the device managment listing, as if they are disconnected. I've tried downloading updates, new drivers and firmware, but still
no joy.

 

Inbuilt camera not working after November update

When I upgraded to Windows 10 my built-in camera stopped working. Was ok with Windows 8. Got help from ASUS (updated driver).

After the November update the same thing happened. Checked with ASUS but no news.

Error message "cannot find s camera" .

Any suggestions?
