LifeCam Software Got Uninstalled After Windows Update.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have better clarity on the issue, please answer the below-listed questions and get back to us.

1. What is the name of the update that was installed prior to this issue?
2. What is the complete model number of your Microsoft LifeCam?
3. What is the complete error message that you get when you run the application from the CD-ROM?
4. Is the camera working in all other applications except Skype?

Meanwhile, I suggest you to download and install the latest LifeCam software by following the below steps.

Also, try using a different USB port on the computer. If you can, connect to a USB 2.0 port and disconnect other unused USB devices from the computer.

Step 1: Go to
Device Software Downloads and search for your LifeCam model in the Search for download section.

Step 2: Once you enter your LifeCam model, then click on the
LifeCam driver link > Select the Operating System and
Language > Download and install the LifeCam drivers on your computer.

For reference, you may also refer to
Common LifeCam Issues and check if this helps.

Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.

Microsoft LifeCam 3.5

Device Manager Error Code 43 could mean either a problem with the hardware or the driver.

Please confirm that you have some edition of Windows 7.

Unplug the webcam and connect it to one of the other computers. Does it work there? If so, the problem is with the driver on the problem computer; if not, the camera itself has failed.

Which actual LifeCam model do you have (3.5 appears to relate to the software release)?

According to this Microsoft article (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...rs-and-software-for-microsoft-lifecam-cameras),

• for LifeCam Cinema, LifeCam HD-3000, LifeCam Studio, and LifeCam VX-800, no additional software, firmware, or drivers are needed.
• for LifeCam HD-5000, HD-5001, and HD-6000 for Notebooks, the current software is
  LifeCam 3.6 software
• for LifeCam VX-1000, use LifeCam 3.2 software

Assuming the webcam works on another computer, I suggest the following:

1. With the webcam still disconnected from the problem computer, open Device Manager. If there is an entry for the webcam (under "Imaging devices"), right-click and select "Uninstall."
2. If there was not entry for the webcam in Device Manager, connect it, and then right-click and "Uninstall" it.
3. Restart the computer. Windows will detect the webcam and attempt to install it.

If that doesn't help, disconnect the webcam.

Click Start, type appwiz.cpl in the Search box, and press Enter

If there is an entry for LifeCam software, select it and click the "uninstall" button.

Assuming that you have one of the supported models, click on the link above to download LifeCam3.60.exe

Run the download file and connect the webcam when prompted to do so by the software
