Reinstall webcam driver

Hi Vicki,

Are you having trouble reinstalling the webcam driver? If so, here's how you can update drivers in Windows 10:

• 
  Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select
  Update Driver.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  
• 
  If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
  
• If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver: Open Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and select
  Uninstall. Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
  

I'll be waiting for your updates.

Srijan,

Try expanding the Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices and see if Webcam driver is listed.

If it's missing from the list, please contact HP support or post a query in the HP support forums. HP staff/volunteers should help you find the appropriate driver for HP Webcam.
