Built-in camera shows a black screen on any app

Hi,

To properly isolate the problem, we would like to gather more details about why your camera suddenly stopped working.

• Have you made any changes or performed any updates on your computer recently?
• Are you tried using any external software or app to access your web camera?
• Have you made any changes to the camera settings?

We suggest that you update its drivers through Windows update. To check for updates, follow the steps below:

• Click the Windows logo, then select Settings.
• Click Update & Security > Windows Update.
• Click Search for updates and install all updates.

Make sure to view the Optional updates to see if there are any hardware updates for your webcam.

Update us with the result.

Regards.

I did all steps described in your email, but the camera app still shows a black screen. Also skype and other tools do not allow use of the camera
