windows 10 camera app keeps crashing.

This is my third reply to this thread, as there are multiple issues being reported under this same error message.

The 0x200F4246 error means that that Camera application is not able to activate the camera hardware. This is most often a problem with the camera driver and can be resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the camera driver.

Another possibility include that you're running the N or KN version of Windows, in which case you should please refer to my other reply on the topic.

Here are instructions for reinstalling the camera driver:

Overview: Uninstall and delete the camera driver in Device Manager, then have Windows reinstall the driver. This can be a 1 minute fix.

Steps:

• Hold down the Windows key and press R (Win+R)
• Type devmgmt.msc, then click OK
• Find "Imaging Devices" and expand it by clicking the '>' to the left.
• Right click the camera that isn't working
• Click Uninstall
• When the confirmation window shows, check the "Delete the driver software..." box and press OK. (This step is important because it's the only way to assure that Windows completely reinstalls the camera driver.)
• After the driver is uninstalled, select the "Scan for Hardware Changes" button in the Action menu. (There is also a "search" button on the tool bar that does the same thing.

If all goes well, Windows will automatically reinstall the driver for your camera and everything should be working.

If Windows cannot find a driver for your camera, you should go to the manufacturer's web site to find the camera driver. Follow the manufacturers instructions for downloading and installing the driver.

Good luck!
