Windows 10: Is there a fix for built in camera not working in Windows 10 version 1909 please?

Hi Guys,


Is there a fix for built-in camera not working in Windows 10 version 1909 please?


The camera has the latest driver, permissions etc. It shows separately in Device Manager i.e. not under imaging devices. Roll back driver greyed out. Stream.sys is not present in driver details.It is a USB2.0 UVC HD camera. Wondered if a systemic USB problem could be causing the problem.


Uninstalling and reinstalling camera app does not work. When camera is selected from Start list, message reads still updating camera app and does not change no matter how long you wait.


Message says Cannot locate your camera but switches to Front Camera message and displays camera buttons and then switches intermittently and repeatedly between the two situations.


Zonealarm Free Firewall & Antivirus have camera listed as a trusted application.


Hope you can provide a solution. TIA.


Best wishes, Kev

:)
