    download Windows camera app

    Success in resetting Store; that produced a download of the Windows camera, despite seeing error message again, download proceeded. Screen shows MS app for Windows camera and indicates downloaded. (Camera now listed in app list.) But when Launch was selected,
    no action after screen with camera icon. Eventually message appeared " something went wrong: here is message code if needed: 0x400F4271>MediaCaptureFailedEvent>0xC00D3704. We seem to be moving ahead a step at a time. Next suggestion?

  3. Issues with using Camera on Windows 10 and getting black view while using the Camera.

    Hi John,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if Camera driver is corrupt.



    To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

    • How exactly are you opening the Camera on the computer?
    • Are you using default Camera app or other camera app?


    I suggest you to follow the method below to open Camera app in the computer and update the Camera driver in the Device Manager.

    Step 1: I recommend you to open the Camera through default Camera app and check if it helps.

    1. Click on Search bar.

    2. Then type "Camera" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

    3. Check if you are able to use the Camera.

    Step 2: I suggest you to update the Camera driver and check if it helps.

    1. Press Windows Key + R Key.

    2. Then type “devmgmt.msc” without the quotes and hit on
    Enter Key
    .

    3. Expand Imaging Devices.

    4. Right click on the Camera driver and click on Update Driver Software.





    Please get back to us with an update on issue with using Camera on Windows 10, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.
