Windows 10: Integrated webcam not being detected Dell PC

Integrated webcam not being detected Dell PC


Drivers are fine, Camera App is installed and enabled, I reset the Camera App and re-started the PC, when I go to Microsoft store and try to install camera app it says that the app is already installed but then when I go to a website that needs to access my webcam it tells me that it can't find my camera.

Webcam not being detected

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop which is running Windows 10.

Starting a few days ago, the built-in webcam that comes with the laptop stopped working completely. Programs like Skype, TestWebCam, and others fail to detect the webcam.





I have tried all the steps from Dell's official troubleshooting guide:

1. Updating drivers for the Integrated Webcam in Device Manager gave the
   message "The best drivers for your device are already installed."
   
2. Uninstalling the drivers for the Integrated Webcam.
   
3. Updating to the latest BIOS A12 had no effect.
   
4. Updating to the latest Chipset 16.400.3601 also had no effect.
   
5. Dell's PC Diagnostics more than 1 hour scan didn't find any webcam related issues.
   
6. Access to the camera is enabled in Windows 10's privacy settings.
   

 

Integrated webcam listed as hidden device in Device Manager

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series laptop running Windows 10. A few days ago, the built-in webcam stopped working completely. Programs like Skype, OBS, and TestWebCam all fail to detect it.





At first, the camera appeared to be missing from Device Manager. However, after selecting View → Show hidden devices, I found my Integrated Webcam listed under Imaging Devices.





I have tried all the steps from Dell's official troubleshooting guide:

• Updating drivers for Integrated Webcam in Device Manager gave the message "The best drivers for your device are already installed."
  
• Uninstalling drivers for Integrated Webcam makes it disappear from Device Manager after rebooting.
  
• Updating to the latest BIOS A12 had no effect.
  
• Updating to the latest Chipset 16.400.3601 seemed to have no effect, but bizarrely my AMD settings report version 16.40.3601-161206a-313192C-Dell.
  
• Dell's PC Diagnostics 40 minute scan didn't find any webcam related issues.
  
• Access to the camera is enabled in Windows 10's privacy settings.
  

 

Integrated Webcam not detected after free Windows 10 installation from Windows 7

After upgrading Dell Studio XPS 435T/9000 from Windows 7 to free Windows 10 the integrated webcam is no longer detected or listed as imaging device in the device manager.

Attempted following:

* Scan hardware for new devices

* Windows troubleshooter

* Driver scan/updates from Dell website

* Updated BIOS

* RegEdit trick posted on CNET

This registry hack may fix your broken Windows 10 Anniversary Update webcam

Too late to roll back to Windows 7 and would prefer not to. Please advise. Thanks.
