Microsoft Lifecam Studio - error code 0xA00F4271(0x80070018)

Like some other people, I get error code 0xA00F4271(0x80070018) when I try to use my Microsoft Lifecam Studio with the Windows Camera App. The camera also doesn't work with Skype or Adobe products.

I am on Windows version 1607 (OS Build 14393.351)

I have tried all the suggested fixes and none of them have fixed the issue:

1. Checking for updates

2. Deleting the device from device manager & redetecting

3. Restarting my computer

4. Trying different USB ports

5. Changing USB root hub power management settings

6. Testing camera on another computer to verify it is not a hardware problem with the camera
