Windows 10: Camera / Privacy Settings Issue

Hi everyone, I have a Lenovo Yoga 910 and have been experiencing some trouble with the built-in webcam for quite some time and now as the demand for video conferencing has increased dramatically I am focused on trying to solve this.


As I open any app that uses the camera Lenovo Vantage, Camera from Windows, Skype, etc. they direct me the message that they need permission from the Privacy in settings. The thing is permission is already granted and on for all the apps. I've tried turning every key on/off on Camera Privacy settings and rebooting. I have also tried to uninstall the camera driver and then reinstall it and no success.


I'm open to new ideas if anyone has them!


Thanks

:)

 

Camera and Microphone Privacy

Hi Moustafa,

This issue occurs due to permission issue, driver issue, license for an app is out of sync with the license installed on the computer or if the app is not updated. To give permission to Camera and Microphone app, you may follow
these steps:

• Go to Settings.
• Select Privacy.
• Look for Camera, make sure that “Let apps use my camera” is turned On. You may choose the apps that can use your camera as well.
• Go back to Privacy and select Microphone, make sure that “Let apps use my microphone” is turned On. You may choose the apps that can use your microphone as well.

Windows 10 Camera APP Privacy Error

Every time I open the windows 10 camera app, it tells me it needs my permission & to open privacy settings and allow the app to use my camera. But when I go to the privacy setting page the camera app is not listed. So I went to app & features to try and
uninstall it but when i click the remove button nothing happens.

Any suggestion to what might be the issue.
