Windows 10: After the KB5050009 update, the laptop's camera stopped working

After the KB5050009 update, the laptop's camera stopped working. It disappeared from the list of devices in Device Manager. Uninstalling the update and trying to install drivers did not help. Please escalate this issue to the development team so it can be fixed in future updates. The situation is quite critical, as children are engaged in remote learning due to the war, and teachers need to see them. The problem is definitely not local—news reports have already covered it, yet Microsoft is ignoring the issue and has not fixed it.Після оновлення KB5050009 перестала працювати камера на ноутбуці.

Laptop Camera

Thanks for updating us on the results of the troubleshooting steps that you have completed. Since the built-in webcam is still not working correctly and the same error code 0xA00F4244 (0xC00DABED) is still appearing, we suggest that we check the camera privacy
settings to see if the camera access is turned on. Kindly follow the steps below to check the camera privacy settings:

• Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
• Near the top of the Settings app window is the search box, kindly type the word "webcam" or "camera".
• From the list of results choose Camera privacy settings.
• Make sure that "Let apps use my camera" toggle is set to On.

We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

laptop camera not stopped working

Hi, my name is Neil, I'm an independent adviser and a Windows 10 user like you.

Sorry you're having trouble with your laptop camera.

I've helped a few people with similar issues and rather than run down a list of camera problems, can you try something first which has helped others with the same error code.

It can be counter-intuitive, but can you try this for me:

Press the Windows Key + I to open Settings.

Click on Update & Security.

Click on Troubleshoot on the left hand side.

Under Find and fix other problems, click on Recording audio. (if you have a Microphone listed here, click that instead). Click on Run the troubleshooter.

It may find that your mic has been turned off and turn it back on. This should then resolve your camera error.

Check to see if your camera is working again.

If not, we can go through steps to sort out your camera. But it's worth trying this first as it as helped quite a few others.
