Windows 10: Can't enable camera access because "Change" button is greyed out

Hi


I just bought a webcam https://canyon.eu/product/cne-hwc2/. I connected it to my computer and tried to use Windows' Camera app. The app directed me to enable access in Settings. However, in Settings the button to change access permissions for the Camera is greyed out.


I am using Windows 10. Updates are installed.

I am using my home PC so I am the administrator.

The camera shows up in device manager.

Restart didn't help.


I tried suggestions from https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/71414-allow-deny-os-apps-access-camera-windows-10-a.html regedit and group policy options, set them both to allow. The "Change" button in Settings is still greyed out.


How can I fix this? Why don't I have access to my own computer's settings?


Thanks

Märten

Camera Not Working

I have a Lenovo Yoga 920 laptop and the camera is not working.

when I attempt to access the camera, the light comes on, but a grey image with a crossed out camera displays.

I have checked privacy settings to enable, but even the native camera app behaves this way.

Any help would be helpful...step by step is best

 

Skype for Business' access to camera

Thanks, it worked!

For anyone else having the same problem:
When activating the aforementioned setting you should restart Skype for Business completely. Mine Skype for Business still did not get listed in the lower list, but the camera is now activated.

 

Skype for Business' access to camera

Scroll down. Those are only Store apps listed. Other apps are listed below. First you turn access on, and then you have the list off other apps

Here is mine




Edit: and maybe some other program is using your camera at the time... only one can use it (at the time)
