Windows 10: Camera says "It looks like another app is using camera already" error code "0xa00f4288".

FIRST, my laptop webcam works fine when I use google meet online which means my camera hardware is working fine.


HOWEVER, when I open windows camera, it says that another app is already using camera, but I checked task manager also, no app is using my camera.

Please help me solve this issue.

windows 10 camera app - error 0xA00F4288

I updated my Windows 10 Pro to v. 2004. The Windows 10 Camera App now has the option to view network IP cameras. I have a Vivotek ip8332 network camera. In Windows 10 Settings: Devices, I added the camera with Bluetooth and other devices. Windows found
the camera which is now listed in Other devices. When I open the Camera App, it shows the following error: "Close other apps. It looks like another app is using the camera already. If you need it, here's the error code: 0xA00F4288<AllCamerasAreReserved>".
I ran the Camera App Trouble Shooter. The Trouble Shooter says It looks like there is an issue with your camera services. I looked in Services.msc, but I don't seen anything applicable. Task Manager is not listing anything running. I am not aware of any Windows
10 application or software using this IP camera. I have searched this Community and the internet for the error message to no avail. I am out of ideas, and I would appreciate some direction on this matter. Thanks in advance .

 

windows 10 camera app - error 0xA00F4288

Thanks for the suggestion, but the information is not applicable. My video camera is a network IP security video camera. I don't think you could use the Camera App for network IP video cameras prior to the v. 2004 Windows 10 Update. I have had no luck
finding anything about the error code: 0xA00F4288<AllCamerasAreReserved>". It would be nice if the error told me what App it thinks is using the video camera.
