Windows 10: Camera not working on HP Laptop

When the windows camera app is opened, it shows nothing. The camera light turns on, and remains off even if I close the camera app. It doesn't turn off until I go to Device Manager and hit "Scan for hardware changes." On video-conferencing tools like Google Meet, it shows "Camera failed." The name of the device in Device Manager also changes. It is "HP TrueVision Camera" at one point of time, and "PC Camera" at another. There is no error message. Restarting the system does not work. Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver does not work. Sometimes the camera works, the video feed gets a greeni

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.
