    HP All-In-One Webcam On/Off Error - any ideas?


    Model: HP Pavillion All-in-One 24-xa1xxx

    Windows 10


    My webcam is built in and slides up and down behind the screen - down is off, up is on.


    The trouble is it has switched for some reason so down is on and up is off.


    So Windows doesn't think there is a problem, but I can only get a shot of the back of my screen which is useless.


    Have tried:

    - deactivating / activating webcam

    - reinstalling drivers

    - reinstalling device


    And following troubleshooter with some other recommendations - everything results in the same - the webcam is backwards so down is on and up is off.


    Has anyone had the same issue?


    Tearing my hair out with how frustrating this is!

    :)

    Webcam not working

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    This issue can occur if the camera drivers are not up-to date, your anti-virus may be blocking the camera, or camera app is not installed properly. I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article:
    Camera does not work in Windows 10. You can also refer to the suggestion on HP article:
    HP PCs - Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 10, 8).



    If you need any further assistance, please write back with the following information:



    1. What happens when you are trying to access Camera app?
    2. What is the exact error message you are getting?
    3. What is version of Windows 10 that is installed on your device?
    4. Are you using an external webcam? If yes, please help us with the make and model of the webcam.


    Regards,
