Windows 10: Accidentally deleted the camera device on Device Manager.

Hi,


I made the mistake of deleting my camera device on the Device Manager after it was not working. I attempted to scan for hardware changes like the Microsoft page suggested, but the camera did not pop up. How can I recover the camera in the Device Manager?


Thank you for your help!
