Read camera memory card

I have a Pentax Optio 330RS camera. I should be able to connect the camera to my HP Envy15 laptop by cable to download the photos on the memory card or from the camera's internal memory to the laptop. It doesn't work and I suspect that the camera's software is not compatible with Windows 10 ( v1809) on the laptop. Can anyone confirm this and perhaps suggest a way I can read the camera's memory card?

 

Internal camera not found 0XA00F4244 NoCamerasAreAttached

Hello,

I have a Lenovo Yoga 920 for ~2 years now.

The internal camera was working for some time, and stopped working last year with the message 0XA00F4244 NoCamerasAreAttached.

The camera is not there in the device manager, even viewing hidden devices.

There is no physical switch, but there is a key-combination to disable / enable the camera, but it does not work as well (shows camera is always off).

I worked with Lenovo tech support, and they replaced all (cables, camera) in 4 different technician visits, checked drivers, bios - nothing worked. The last step is to replace the motherboard or replace the laptop itself,
which I am reluctant to do at this point, but may need to go there. This is similar to re-install Windows, and I just don't like the idea - but maybe this is what I need to do?

I tried everything suggested:

Reset the app

Registry settings

Remove USB drivers

Check & disable AV, check & disable firewalls

Check privacy

Check bios & Lenovo drivers (no updates in last year)

I cannot check in Device Manager as the camera is not shown there

As I follow the posts, I see that this is not a Lenovo issue and reported on HP, Dell, Asus and others. My guess is that this is a Microsoft Windows 10 issue. I do not want to downgrade to Windows 8, just does not make
sense.

Other ideas before I reset the laptop, reinstall Windows and lastly just replace the laptop before warranty runs out?

Can Microsoft fix it for all of us needed camera badly these days?

Thanks.
