Camera for MSI GF63 8RC Not Working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate the efforts you have taken in trying to resolve this issue. We understand that you are unable to use Webcam on your MSI computer. However, it would be great if you can reply with the details requested below:

• What is the complete error message you receive when you open Camera App?
  
• Do you see any unknown device in Device Manager?
  
• Which build version of Windows is installed on the computer? To check type: winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
  
• Are you aware of any changes made on the computer?
  

You may want to check the System Control Manager application and try enabling Camera from the application.



However, as you have mentioned that you are unable to find the Camera driver in Device Manager, we would suggest you to check for unknown devices in Device Manager.
To check for unknown devices, you can press Windows key + X, and select
Device Manager.



If you see any unknown device, right click on the device and select
Update Driver.



You can also check for hidden drivers and see if the Camera drivers are hidden. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Click on View and select
   Show hidden devices.
   
3. Now, look for Imaging devices, and expand it.
   
4. Right click on the driver and select Update Driver.
   
5. Restart the computer once the driver is updated.
   

For additional information, see
Camera doesn't work in Windows 10.



Let us know the results.

Inbuilt camera not working after November update

Hello
GöranSS,

Given the information you've provided where you state that you got your camera working prior to the November update, it sounds to me like the November update reinstalled a driver that doesn't work with your camera. Most likely the camera driver got replaced
with the generic webcam driver. I'd suggest you rollback to your previous driver and see if that corrects the problem. To do this:

How to rollback to previous driver:

• Right click on start button>Device Manager
• Under Imaging devices locate your camera, you may need to click the ">" to expand the list to see your camera
• Right click on the device name>Properties
• Click on Driver Tab
• Click the Roll Back Driver button

If that doesn't work, you can manually choose another driver already installed on your system and see if that works. To do this:

How to manually choose a previously installed driver:

• Right click on start button>Device Manager
• Under Imaging devices locate your camera, you may need to click the ">" to expand the list to see your camera
• Right click on the device name>Properties
• Click "Update Driver" button
• Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
• Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
• Select an older driver

You may need try several drivers to find the right one. Let us know if you've resolved the issue after you try these steps.

Thanks,

Tom

If you have the camera connected to the computer, I would suggest that you disconnect the camera and then try to open the Camera app.



If the camera app opens, follow the steps below:

• Press “Windows key + C” from your keyboard to open “Charms bar”.
• Select “Settings” option.
• Select “Permissions” option.
• Turn on “Allow this app to access your: Webcam and Microphone” option.
• Lose the app by pressing “Alt key + F4” from your keyboard.
• Reopen the Camera app.
• Connect your camera and then check how this app works.

Goodluck!
