    "Camera Key" F8 not working


    My Device - Lenovo IdealPad S540I recently noticed that my camera wasn't working but after running a troubleshoot I got it back. I think this must have updated the drivers following a windows 11 update.BUT, my "F8" key is not having any effect. When I open the camera app, it is permanently on and the key will not let me disable it!!Any suggestions gratefully received.Thanks

    :)

    f8 key not working

    my camera wont enable (f8 key). for some reason, after restarting once with the f8 key on (the camera gets blocked) it wouldnt work. its stuck disabled, and even after several methods such as msconfig, cmd, and safe boot it still hasnt been fixed. this is pretty important for me since i am a student and if i cant switch on my camera it will be bad. please help me

    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!

    My F4 and F8 keys mic and camera suddenly stopped working: It is as it is, they just don't work. I don't think it's the keys themselves because the other keys still work and they both stopped working at the same time.
