Windows 10: Every camera on my PC is glitching wildly

My PC's camera is flickering/glitching wildly, in a level that you can barely see my face from the constant glitching. I tried changing USB ports multiple times, to 3.0 as well and it didn't work, tried following things in YouTube and it didn't work either. I connected my cam to my laptop and it worked perfectly without any problems, but on my PC it's just constant horrible glitching, changing the resolution or the fps didn't work, the camera is 4k. I changed the resolution in the settings to 800x400 instead to see if it'll work, and it didn't. The glitching was the same. How do I fix this?My

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.
