Windows 10: How to reinstall a webcam on a dell laptop

My webcam stopped working after the microsoft update, I have followed all of the steps to try and fix the issue in device manager however, when I "uninstalled the camera" and selected "scan for hardware changes" it was suppose to reappear however mine did not and now I am unable to see it under the device manager so trying to figure out how to reinstall the webcam. Any suggestions? Please help, I have been waiting for someone from Microsoft to call me back for 4 days now and I really need my webcam for video sessions.

thank you.

missing webcam drivers dell laptop

I do not have any webcam drivers listed for my laptop, Dell Support does not have any listed on their support page to download. Dell says

Windows 10 will download them on it's own. Please help me do this, every help page on Microsoft says to go to the manufacturers webpage to download the specific driver... please see below text from dell's website.

Hi,

This can occur when the driver is outdated or corrupted. What other steps have you tried so far to troubleshoot the issue. To isolate your concern, we recommend checking the driver in the Hidden Devices section on Device Manager. Kindly follow the steps
below:

• Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager.
• Click on View and select Show Hidden
  Devices.
• Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.
• If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update
  Driver Software.
• Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

For any results, kindly update this thread.

 

Webcam not working on Dell laptop

I recently bought a Dell laptop with Windows 10.

Windows Hello doesn't always work as it says unable to connect to webcam.

After advice on here, I uninstalled one of the links from Device Manager (there were 3 , now 2 are left)

I restarted laptop but no webcam still working.

Can anyone help as I'm panicking now because I deleted one of the software attached to the webcam device.
