Windows 10: I'm having issues with my camera and my bluetooth icon.

The camera app shows the following error : "Troubleshoot Camera App error code 0xA00F4244". I tried many online ways to fix it but it still won't work and secondly, my bluetooth icon disappeared on its own while I was using it and I tried finding it by many online tutorials and it still didn't help and now that I want to reset my windows, it says: "insert your windows installation and recovery media" and I don't seem to have it so kindly guide me what to do to fix all these issues as they are bothering me a lot. Yours sincerely, Maria.
