Integrated webcam listed as hidden device in Device Manager

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series laptop running Windows 10. A few days ago, the built-in webcam stopped working completely. Programs like Skype, OBS, and TestWebCam all fail to detect it.





At first, the camera appeared to be missing from Device Manager. However, after selecting View → Show hidden devices, I found my Integrated Webcam listed under Imaging Devices.





I have tried all the steps from Dell's official troubleshooting guide:

• Updating drivers for Integrated Webcam in Device Manager gave the message "The best drivers for your device are already installed."
  
• Uninstalling drivers for Integrated Webcam makes it disappear from Device Manager after rebooting.
  
• Updating to the latest BIOS A12 had no effect.
  
• Updating to the latest Chipset 16.400.3601 seemed to have no effect, but bizarrely my AMD settings report version 16.40.3601-161206a-313192C-Dell.
  
• Dell's PC Diagnostics 40 minute scan didn't find any webcam related issues.
  
• Access to the camera is enabled in Windows 10's privacy settings.

  Show Hidden Devices.
• Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.
