Lenovo Y510P (Unsupported for Win 10) Camera Driver Needed


Hello and welcome ksuthayya have had a look for a driver for your machine but there are only drivers listed up to 8.1 not 10.
Camera Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - IdeaPad Y410p, Y510p - Lenovo Support (US)

Another Google found that there was no camera driver support for 10. for a similar Lenovo Lenovo Y510P (Unsupported for Win 10) Camera Drive... - Lenovo Community

Having said that my old Toshiba was in the same position and yet when I installed 10 Windows updates found drivers for stuff not listed on the Toshiba site.

Now a suggestion would be to get a clip on camera and install it via USB or like wise because it would have it owns driver. If my memory serves me right they are not that expensive - but still annoying eh?.

 

Laptop Camera

Thanks for updating us on the results of the troubleshooting steps that you have completed. Since the built-in webcam is still not working correctly and the same error code 0xA00F4244 (0xC00DABED) is still appearing, we suggest that we check the camera privacy
settings to see if the camera access is turned on. Kindly follow the steps below to check the camera privacy settings:

• Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
• Near the top of the Settings app window is the search box, kindly type the word "webcam" or "camera".
• From the list of results choose Camera privacy settings.
• Make sure that "Let apps use my camera" toggle is set to On.

We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

 

camera not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to use Camera on your Lenovo laptop. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• What happens when you open the camera application?
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to this issue?
• What is the complete model number of the Lenovo laptop?
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer Which version of Windows operating system am I running?

I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the Lenovo article Webcam or camera not working or cannot turn on and see if that
helps.



You may also want to refer the article on Camera doesn't work in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.
