    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.

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand the concern as you are unable to use the integrated webcam. There could be a possibility that the
    device driver not installed or out of date or the installed driver failed.
    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

    • What is the model number of the Lenovo Desktop?
    • Is Lenovo Vantage utility app installed on the PC?

    • Are you aware of any changes on the PC prior to this issue?

    Let us try few steps.

    Step 1: Check Camera Settings.

    1. Press Windows + I key to open Windows Settings.
    2. Click on Privacy and select Camera from the left pane.
    3. Click on Change check if it is toggled to On.
    4. Also toggle the switch to On under Allow apps to access your camera
    Step 2:Update Webcam driver.

    We would suggest you to update the Webcam driver from Device Manager. Please refer this article to update the driver:
    Update drivers in Windows 10

    If the behavior persists, I suggest you follow the steps in the article below and see if it solves the problem:
    Camera doesn't work in Windows 10

    You may also refer these articles for additional information:

    If it persists, I recommend that you contact the Lenovo Technical Support to carry out tests related to the camera.

    Let us know the results.

    Follow steps in the article linked to in Post #9 step 1.

    To apply the registry files just double click on each one.

    This is my camera app, the switch cameras button is there in the middle, and both cameras work:
