Windows 10: how to fix my camera, no picture?

My camera shows a black screen you can hear the shutter when you take a picture but there is no picture. I have been all through the computer and can not fix it , also have used copilot trying to fix it no fix yet.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

camera app that supports taking picture at fixed resolution

I am looking for a camera app that allows me to set the maximum resolution of the pictures being taken. The stock windows 10 camera app always takes a picture at the maximum resolution of the camera (3264x1836) so the resulting files are large. I have to take the pictures and upload them to a website for long term storage but they limit the maximum file size to 4Mb. A large number of the pictures I take are much larger than that. I want the camera app to either automatically shrink the resolution of the picture after it is taken or allow me to set a fixed resolution like 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1400x900. I have a surface pro 4 running windows 10 1803. It just updated to 1803 while I have been working on this problem. The stock camera app updated to version 2018.227.30.1000 and doesn't have this functionality either.
