  2. Webcam and Photos blocked by Anniversary Update

    Hi,



    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.



    As you are facing issues with the photo app I suggest you to follow the below method.



    Method 1: Run the Windows App Troubleshooter



    I suggest you to download and run the app troubleshooter from the below link and check if it helps.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

    For the issue related to webcam I suggest you to perform the below steps.



    Method 2:

    You may also update the Camera driver from Device Manager manually and check if this helps.

    • Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
    • Expand “Other devices”.
    • Right click on the “Integrated webcam” drivers and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
    Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.

    USB Webcam showing as Hidden in Device Manager

    Hi,

    Firstly apologies for not getting back sooner but I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks and didn't have access to my PC.

    I'm trying to check whether the webcam is blocked or not by following your instructions. I've followed Step 1 and 2 OK as requested. Your step 3 implies to me that I should now see a list of blocked apps in a box. However when I click on
    Allow an app through Windows Firewall what I get is a list of the allowed Apps and Features rather than a list of Blocked Apps. I cannot see webcam or anything similar in the list of allowed apps.

    Did I follow your steps correctly. Am I missing something here?

    Webcam is still classed as hidden in Device manage and the Camera App still cannot see it.

    Regards
