    Laptop camera won’t open; un-, and reinstall helps but until reboot only


    I can’t open my laptop camera in Windows 10, 64 bit. I get the error message it’s not enabled while in fact it is. The driver is said to be up-to-date, among the default apps though the camera is not listed. The only way I can open the camera is to uninstall it then, also in Device Manager, scan for hardware changes. Then it works but still doesn’t appear among the default apps. Next reboot it starts again. How to fix it for good?Thanks.

    :)

    Laptop went black and won;t reboot

    Hi Andree,

    Hardware and software conflict is one of the possible reasons why you're experiencing black screen. Sometimes, it is also because of hardware failure. To get this issue fixed, we suggest that you
    boot into Safe Mode by following these steps:

    • Turn off your computer 3 times while booting. Windows should automatically boot to the Recovery Environment after 3 unsuccessful attempts in a row.
    • Once you are within the Recovery Environment, select Troubleshoot, and then
      Advanced options, then Startup Settings, and
      Restart
      . When it restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5 for
      Safe Mode with Networking.
    Once your computer is in Safe Mode, please follow the workaround provided on this
    link. Simply select the similar case that you're experiencing to show the troubleshooting steps.

    Let us know how it works.
