Windows 10: Camera on Dell laptop stopped working after Windows update, with error code...

Ever since a Windows update about 3 months ago, the built-in camera in My Dell Laptop stopped working. When I click on "Camera", I get a message that says "We can't find your camera" and it gives me a reference error code 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>. I have tried a number of things recommended in the Microsoft Community Forum, all to no avail. Please help as I really need my camera and I cannot afford to buy a new laptop. Thank you.

Hi,

Compatibility could be one of the probable reasons why you have this error. What I can suggest is for you try and run the hardware troubleshooter. You can follow the steps below:

• Click the magnifying glass icon beside the Windows start menu.
• Type Troubleshooting.
• Select Hardware and Sound.
• Click Hardware and Devices from the options list.
• Click Next to run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter.

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.
