Built in Webcam is not working on Windows 10.

Hi Leo,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

This issue might occur if there is change in Camera settings or camera driver is corrupt.

To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "It's also not listed in device manager", have you checked the Camera driver in the Imaging Devices under the Device Manager?
• When you say that "and it just stopped working", how exactly are you trying to access the webcam? Which application are you using to access webcam? Have you tried to check the issue with default Camera app?
• Are you getting any error message?

I suggest you to follow the steps below to check the issue with accessing through Camera app.

1. Click on Search bar.

2. Then type "Camera" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

3. Check if you are able to use the Webcam.

Also I recommend you to check if Webcam driver is avialble or not in the Device Manager.

1. Press Windows Key + R Key.

2. Then type “devmgmt.msc” without the quotes and hit on
Enter Key.

3. Expand Imaging Devices.

4. Right click on the webcam driver and click on Update driver software.

Please get back to us with an update on issue with accessing Webcam, we will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Webcam not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This issue can occur if the camera drivers are not up-to date, your anti-virus may be blocking the camera, or camera app is not installed properly. I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article:
Camera does not work in Windows 10. You can also refer to the suggestion on HP article:
HP PCs - Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 10, 8).



If you need any further assistance, please write back with the following information:

1. What happens when you are trying to access Camera app?
   
2. What is the exact error message you are getting?
   
3. What is version of Windows 10 that is installed on your device?
   
4. Are you using an external webcam? If yes, please help us with the make and model of the webcam.
   

Regards,

 

Windows 10 doesn't detect my built-in webcam

So, I installed Windows 10 Home a few days ago, and I've been unable to use my webcam ever since. I've taken a look at my device manager, but the webcam (it's a BisonCam NB Pro, by the way) isn't listed. I've even tried showing hidden devices, but there's
no webcam detected. There aren't "other devices" listed either. I've tried downloading the drivers for that model, but they too are unable to fine my built-in webcam. Any suggestions?
