Windows 10: Camera error

somebody can help me please? I have an HP EliteBook 8740w
When I first got the laptop the camera was working fine, but I think a Windows update has messed up something. I get this error whenever I try to use it. I know my camera isn't damaged or anything and I've tried uninstalling the drivers then installing again, but since I did that the camera's are no longer showing even when I show 'hidden devices' in the device manager. Is there anything else I can do to try to fix this? I've tried looking online and none of the solutions I've found have helped. I even tried to re-install windows but it still didn't get fixed. l went do HP website and there`s no driver avaliable for my model in win 10. I downloaded anyway for win 7 the last one avaliable ans still do not work. doesn't even show in the device manager. I Would really apreciate help. This is happening since my laptop was formatted 5 days ago and i'm still struggling.. I wish l could post 2 screen shots to show you guys.

:)

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.
