    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]

    "GameDVR_Enabled"="0"

    "GameDVR_FSEBehavior"=dword:00000002

    "GameDVR_FSEBehaviorMode"=dword:00000002



    ;Same as above.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR]

    "AllowGameDVR"="0"



    ;Unlocks the ability to modify sleeping CPU cores to improve performance and decrease stutter in games.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\943c8cb6-6f93-4227-ad87-e9a3feec08d1]

    "Attributes"="2"



    ;Improves system responsiveness and network speed.

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

    "SystemResponsiveness"="00000000"

    "NetworkThrottlingIndex"="fffffff"



    ;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"

    "Priority"="6"

    "Scheduling Category"="High"



    ;Adds the "Copy To..." ability from Windows 7, when you right click files or folders, for easier file management.

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]

    @="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"



    ;Adds the "Move To..." ability from Windows 7, when you right click files or folders, for easier file management.

    "MenuShowDelay"="8"

    "WaitToKillAppTimeout"="2000"

    "LowLevelHooksTimeout"="1000"



    ;Disables unnecessary features present in the Explorer.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

    "NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001

    "LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo"=dword:00000001

    "NoResolveSearch"=dword:00000001

    "NoResolveTrack"=dword:00000001

    "NoInternetOpenWith"=dword:00000001



    ;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.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse]

    "MouseSensitivity"="10"

    "SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:\

    40,66,26,00,00,00,00,00,\

    00,33,33,00,00,00,00,00

    "SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:\

    00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

    00,00,38,00,00,00,00,00,\

    00,00,70,00,00,00,00,00,\

    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!
