Windows 10: Integrated Camera vs. Phone Camera due to linked to windows

I cannot use the integrated camera on my laptop when running zoom or any other application, it automatically goes to my phone. I have changed the camera to integrated within zoom, but it still doesn't work and I receive an error message about not being able to use my camera. I did turn off access to my camera through my device settings on the computer, however, then it doesn't have a camera to use. I have the linked to windows feature enabled have had it for over 1 year, but have only started having this issue with my camera function recently. I have updated all drivers on my computer as wel

Integrated Camera does not display color

Hi KBrownUNF, thank you for reaching out to us. My name is Jayson, an Independent Advisor for Microsoft Community and a user just like you. I'll be glad to assist you.

I understand that you have issue with your integrated laptop camera in greyscale. Might I suggest that you check this link, it is having a different issue with yours but the procedure to fix is just the same. I suggest you follow the steps listed.

Also if this is the first time that you are using the webcam, can you check maybe there is a sticker/plastic in front of the camera.

Let me know if this works and I'll be happy to help you to fix this.

 

Camera not found (Integrated laptop camera)

I used to have access to my laptop's integrated camera. It has been a few months since I have used the camera in Zoom, but today it does not show up. I have Win10-32 Home (Version 1909 - OS Build 18363.1082) and assume it might have been removed somehow when Windows did an update. I have done all the things I know to do. Device Manager does not show a camera and a scan does not show any camera. I also checked all the categories in DM and there just is no camera. When I type camera in the start menu, it opens a page that says my camera cannot be found and the error code is: 0xA00F4244-no camera attached.

I went to the MSI driver website, but there are no camera drivers. Also, a motherboard and chipset update from the driver webpage did not add the camera drivers. Not sure what else I can do, but I need the camera.

To apply the registry files just double click on each one.

This is my camera app, the switch cameras button is there in the middle, and both cameras work:
