    Camera stopped working after a bit of registry tweaks


    So I installed windows 10 a few hours ago using media creation tool. I checked online for windows optimization videos and there were many scripts and registry tweaks , but since iI rebooted after doing that stuff , my camera app just stucks at the logo and if I try it in safe mode it says camera not detected. Here is the reg file which is think is the culprit as i tested camera before applying this and it worked pretty fine.



    ;Disables Fullscreen Optimizations, GameDVR and GameBar which is known to cause stutter and low FPS in games. Also fixes most game crashes.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\ApplicationManagement\AllowGameDVR]

    "value"="00000000"



    ;Same as above.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore]

    ;Marginally improves GPU performance and provides more power to games.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games]

    "GPU Priority"="8"

    ;Speeds up Shut Down time.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]

    "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="2000"



    ;Disables mouse smoothing and acceleration for a more pleasent mouse experience and aim.

    00,00,A8,00,00,00,00,00,\

    00,00,E0,00,00,00,00,00



    [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse]

    "MouseSpeed"="0"

    "MouseThreshold1"="0"

    "MouseThreshold2"="0"



    So can anyone please pin point out that what exactly could've caused this issue?

    :)

    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!
