    Help with IR camera used by Windows hello

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad P53 laptop with an integrated camera. Under device manager I can see an integrated camera and an Integrated IR camera. Up to about a month ago I was able to use the hello login with face recognition without any trouble. I was getting a RED led blinking beside my camera when I was logging in.
    Now when I start windows and I get the screen where the Hello usually open the IR camera to logged me in, I get a message saying “preparing”, the eye doesn’t not move as it did before, I don’t see any activity (led blinking) at the camera and finally get a message that it couldn’t activate the camera and to use the pin to sign in.

    Around the same time I also started having problem with the Windows 10 Camera app. When I was trying to use it, I was getting either of the following errors:

    Can’t start the camera
    0xA00F429F<WindowsShowFailed> (0x80070002)

    Close other applications
    0xA00F4288<AllCameraAreReserved>

    I know the integrated camera is working fine since I can use it with Skype, Zoom or Microsoft Teams.I have tried to reinstall the drivers on both cameras, no luck. I have tried from advanced options to reset the Camera app, no luck. I have checked the Camera access and everything seems to be normal and active. I even deactivate it and reactivate it with no luck. I found an entry in a board about a registry entry that seems to have fixed the camera app.

    It is under:
    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform
    and the key is: EnableFrameServerMode

    I also created the same key under:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform

    Since the creation of both keys the camera application seems to be working. Mind you that some times it just died when I start it but next time it works ok.
    But I still have the same problem with the Hello and IR camera not working. I have checked for a restore point but I don’t have any. I also don’t have the option of rolling a version back for Windows. I am currently running under 20H2 and I know that 21H1 is available. Anybody know if there is anything under 21H1 that may help with Windows Hello and the used if IR Camera? I have the Hello finger print reader enable to login and it works fine. So part of the Windows Hello is working.
    Before trying to start playing with my windows configuration I would like to know if there is a way that I can test the IR Camera. There are sites where I can test the standard integrated camera but I haven’t found anything where I could test the IR camera. I would like to confirm that the IR works before starting to modify and troubleshoot windows hello.
    Thank you,

    Luc

    Can other programs then Windows Hello access an external IR Camera?

    I got two web cameras, one normal and another which has an IR camera build in for my Windows Hello sign in function. I can access my normal camera in various applications but I just don't see any app or other way to open up a viewfinder for the IR Camera except when you set it in Windows Hello.

    I have put tape over every web camera (except the IR one) but I'm uncertain if it even is possible to spy on me through that IR camera? Anyone who knows a way to spy on me through it? Or does Windows somehow lock it for 3rd party apps after being connected to the Windows Hello login method?

    I want to be able to just login without having to take away and reinstall the tape every time i login. It kind of defeats the purpose of having this ease of use login method to begin with.

    Here is an similar camera to the one that I got right now:
