Windows 10: install webcam on msi laptop

How do I re-install the webcam on my MSI laptop?

webcam on msi laptop is not detected as a hardware

I have msi laptop and the windows does not recognize the webcam as a hardware. I did activate the webcam from SCM which disables it by default. But it still doesn't show up. Nor is it listed in the device manager. There is no imaging devices or camera
section in device manager. It doesn't show up even after enabling hidden devices. I updated to latest windows and updated all the drivers. Still, no success. MSI uses bisoncam pro. I can't even find the drivers manually. The official website has no webcam
drivers as it is all included in the SCM. By god this has been so frustrating.

Webcam not detected by computer.

1. Press "Fn-F6" to turn on the webcam on the MSI laptop.

2. Point the mouse to the TurboBattery+ icon on the display – the icon looks like an "S" with a line through the middle – to unfold the associated toolbar.

3. Select the Windows icon from the toolbar (not the one on the Start menu). Click the heart icon to open the settings menu.

4. Select the webcam to re-enable the device on the MSI laptop. Click "OK."

Not all MSI laptops include TurboBattery+.

Skip the last three steps if the laptop is connected to the power adapter.

If the webcam is disabled via TurboBattery+, it will appear grayed out in the settings menu. Don't click the webcam if the option is not grayed out.
