Windows 10: Integrated Camera stopped / Intermittently working

I have a 7 month old Lenovo Laptop Ideapad Flex 5i. I use it almost daily for online lectures in school. Last week, the integrated camera just stopped working during a lecture. This also affected an exam that was online and proctored, causing MAJOR issues. When I go into settings, and into Privacy, I can see that all of my permissions are set correctly. When I try to go into Cameras - Integrated Camera to see myself and ensure the camera is working, it *tries* to open, but immediately closes and won't let me in. I cannot even get in to troubleshoot. I have uninstalled and reinstalled

Dell Integrated Camera Not Working

Hi,

I have a Window 11 Dell 9520 Laptop, where the integrated camera has stopped working; error code 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>.

I have tried many different solutions on the web for this, but none seem to work:

• Update the driver in device manager
  
  • Camera is not a category
    
• Add legacy hardware
  
  • Nothing is found via auto-detect
    
  • Dell says my drivers are all up to date when I try and find it manually
    
• Uninstalled the virus scanner
  
• Made sure the camera was turned on in the BIOS set-up
  

I'm struggling to find any other solution to this, so any help would be appreciated, the camera doesn't work on any program.

 

Integrated camera randomly switches to PC camera & Stops working.

Sorry for the late reply. It says "This devise is working properly."

This however is BS as the camera is not showing anything at all at the time of me checking & writing this.

The strange part is that if the computer has been shut down for awhile, when I start using the camera it is recognized as "Integrated Camera" and it works perfectly. After about ten or fifteen minutes though, it switches from "Integrated Camera" to "PC Camera" and then quits working. When the camera is recognized as "PC Camera", this is the only time I've deleted the program, tried checking or updating the drivers, or checked status as you suggested. Perhaps I should try these things in the short window of time that the computer recognizes it as "Integrated".

Thanks for you help

 

Camera Not Working: 0xA00F4271<MediaCaptureFailedEvent>(0x80070001)

I have a Lenovo Yoga 710-15ISK, 2 in1 Laptop. The Windows version is 10.0.18363 Build 18363, and all updates have been installed.

The built-in camera worked as it should when I first purchased the unit. The camera has worked intermittently since the first update and the intermittent pattern seems to coincide with updates. Some updates cause it to work again and others stop it from
working. It's not working again and I continue to get the message in the subject line when I attempt to use the camera app.

I have spent the last 3 hours reading similar posts and trying the suggested fixes which include:\

• restoring the old driver
• deleting the driver
• updating the driver
• turning off the anti-virus (Windows Defender)
• resetting the app

I
found this thread in a couple of spots and followed all of the suggestions in it which include most of the bulleted items above

I'm beyond frustrated, at this point. Any suggestions?
