  1. camera driver gets deleted automatically


    yesterday, I tried opening my camera and got the error

    0xA00F244 no cameras attached


    well, then I found that my camera driver was listed in hidden drivers in the device manager. Then I went through 10-20 discussions on the Microsoft site, tried uninstalling the driver but then after a restart, it disappeared even from the hidden drivers' list. Then I tried watching some youtube videos, did all the basics-

    1. reinstalling drivers didn't work

    2. resetting windows didn't workbig surprise

    3-4-5.then I downloaded further windows updates after just resetting it. I don't know why they were available after a cloud reset but I checked for updates and since they were available I downloaded..then for the camera problem I tried creating the "DWORD 32-bit Value. Name this DWORDEnableFrameServerMode." thing. after this, I also ran the hardware troubleshooter using the "msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic" command using windows+r and then I restarted and my driver was back in place.

    So I don't know which of the above worked for me.


    sadly, after half a day when I restarted my laptop the driver was gone again and I don't know what all I did this time but after a few restarts the camera was back again


    after all this I was frustrated and knew it will happen again and so I restarted after a few hours and the driver was hidden once again. This time I tried

    1. going into BIOS and change settings to default, that didn't work.

    2. doing scans like sfc scannow and dismdidn't work


    then I removed the last 2 windows updates and restarted, now my camera driver is back and he camera is working but I don't know after which restart it will be gone.. i don't know if that is a windows update problem or just a windows problem in general.


    I think it's an update problem since the camera stopped working after one or two restarts after updating. Still, I am not sure. What should I do?


    Below am attaching 2 pics showing that the device was deleted and some information that might be useful for a technician.

    this is before I uninstalled the 2 updates.
    For time reference, I restarted my computer after uninstalling at 9:25, 02-10-2020

    Camera driver for Toshiba satellite

    Thanks Anthony,

    This site does not list any camera drivers.

    Any other suggestions?

    Integrated camera driver not present in Windows 10

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why this issue occurs, such as the driver is required to be downloaded manually to the manufacturer's website or when the driver is hidden. To know more about your query, we would like to know the following:

    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Did you make any changes prior to the issue?
    • If any, are there any error messages?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Have you tried to check if the show hidden device options is enabled? To do so, under
      Device Manager > click View > then check the
      show hidden device option.
    • Have you tried to search automatically for driver software? To do this, we suggest that you follow the steps provided on this
      link.

    Once your done searching for recommended driver software and Windows doesn't find the camera driver, we suggest that you go to the device manufacturer's website and check for the available driver.

    We'll be waiting for your response.
