  3. Camera is not opening

    Hi Hardik,

    One of the possible reasons why the camera is not opening after the update is the antivirus software that's blocking it or it could be that the driver is outdated.

    link. The link contains troubleshooting steps such as checking the antivirus and the outdated webcam driver.

    Kindly update us with the result and let us know if you need further help.

    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.
