Windows 10: Device Manager- Other Devices, Toshiba Webcam shown as not working

Hi All

Have eventually got 10 on my Toshiba Satellite R830. The problem I have is my Webcam does not work. Thought it was a driver problem but one was installed checked with Toshiba support site but no drivers for 10 showing only the one on my laptop. Spoke to Toshiba who tell me that this is all down to microsoft as they understand as microsoft were doing all of this automatically they had undertake to update all the drivers in the new installation???

Trying to contact microsoft seems to be impossible as they want an activation code but when I said I do not have one for Win 10. Was then told they would transfer me tech support and the inevitable disconnection occured. This after some 20 minutes waiting on the phone.

Anybody got any ideas.

Many thanks for any help.

None of the "other devices" under "Device Manager" are activated including the Toshiba webcam.

Original Title:

upgrade from win 8.1 on Toshiba Satellite R830 to win 10, none of the "other devices" under "Device Manager" are activated including the Toshiba webcam and therefore it, does anybody know why?

 

Webcam not working after upgrade to Windows 10

WEBCAM NOT WORKING.
I have a Toshiba DX730 All-in-One desktop PC running Windows 10.
Since I upgraded to Windows 10 my integrated webcam has not worked.
I have unsuccessfully tried the following:-



1. Checked the BIOS to ensure the webcam is enabled - it is.



2. Uninstalled/installed the appropriate drivers from Toshiba Support
numerous times, including after a clean boot.



3. Uninstalled the hardware from Device Manager numerous times.
An interesting point here is that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager under Imaging Devices, but is shown under Other Devices as USB 2.0 Camera, next to which is the dreaded yellow exclamation mark.
Right clicking this and selecting Properties always shows that no driver is installed.
I've run Driver Update and pointed it to the appropriate folder, but Windows always fails to find the driver.



4. Uninstalled Skype, just in case it was causing a conflict.



5. Run the software in compatibility mode.



None of this has worked!! When I open the Camera app the following error message appears "Something went wrong.
Make sure your camera is commected and not being used by another app".
Skype cannot detect a webcam.



Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Even Device manager is not supporting the webcam driver.
I believe they are still working on it and just a matter of time.
I will let you know if I managed to have it fixed.

 

Hi Makkam

Many thanks for your interest.

I was rather frustrated with the lack of any meaningful response from Toshiba and in particular Microsoft who seem to have an automatic cut when transferred to technical support. I therefore carried out a Clean Install and that ended up without any driver problems and the upgrade working on my Toshiba.

I do not think I can say my original problem was resolved but my laptop is working very well and I am more than happy with Win 10.
