Windows 10: Camera App suddenly stopped working

Help - my webcam camera suddenly stopped working. I use the built in camera and microphone to record myself for music videos and for zoom. I had just downloaded Filmora9 and when I tried going into the Camera App to record myself, got the following message. :-

Close other apps

It looks as though another app is already using the camera. If you need it, here is the error code

OxA00F4243<Camera Reserved By Another App>OxCooD3704 Get Help OK


I have tried reinstalling the camera software, deleting Filmora9 and setting to a previous restore point but without success. Any advice?

camera not working

If you have the camera connected to the computer, I would suggest that you disconnect the camera and then try to open the Camera app.



If the camera app opens, follow the steps below:

• Press “Windows key + C” from your keyboard to open “Charms bar”.
• Select “Settings” option.
• Select “Permissions” option.
• Turn on “Allow this app to access your: Webcam and Microphone” option.
• Lose the app by pressing “Alt key + F4” from your keyboard.
• Reopen the Camera app.
• Connect your camera and then check how this app works.

Goodluck!
