  1. Computer cannot locate camera


    I am using zoom for lots of meetings. My camera worked fine on Thursday, Apr. 31. On Friday, May 1, it stopped working and has not worked since. I checked my settings, privacy, apps, etc. no use. I don't track when I receive notices to update improvements, but I suspect that is the problem. My computer tells me my Windows 10 is not compatible with some app, but I cannot uninstall. The error message is 0xA00F4244.


    I would appreciate any help.

    :)

    Moving to a retail location. Need camera advice.

    Who has experience with IP cameras? I need to place 2 or 3 cameras in my showroom and have the ability to view them from any location and also have the video recorded.

    Any suggestions on a cheap camera/software package to do this? I have computers and network hardware I can dedicate for the job.

    Photographs saved in camera roll not showing location

    Hello

    I, too, have lost this particular functionality.

    I have the 950. At first, the location was saved with photos, but no longer.

    I have reviewed all the privacy and location settings I can think of. Everything is enabled. I have tried the soft reset suggested by Jose, and that has made no difference.

    Here's the settings I've checked:

    • Privacy Settings
      • Location Settings
        • Location = "on"
        • Relevant Apps set to access location:
          • Blink
          • Camera
          • Cortana
          • Lumia Creative Studio
          • Lumia Motion Data
      • Camera Settings
        • Let apps use my camera = "on"
      • Background Apps Settings
        • Windows Camera = "On"
    I can't find anything else that affects the camera and its access to location data.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks for providing the results after completing the steps we provided. Since you're still getting the error message “Your camera cannot be found” along with the error code "0xA00F4244 (0xC00DABED)", we suggest that you follow the steps below
    to reset the Camera app on your Windows 10 computer:

    • Press the Windows Key + I to open the Settings app.
    • From the options presented select System, then click on
      Apps & features
      located on the left pane.
    • Locate the Camera app from the list and select it.
    • Select the Advanced options link and then choose Reset.
    • When the pop-up notification is shown just click on the Reset
      button once more.
    • Once all the steps are complete, kindly reboot your computer.

    Completing this steps will clear the cache of the Camera app and allow it to re-recognize any video capture devices connected to your computer.

    Regards.
