    My laptop running Windows 10 does not recognize its built-in webcam. The manufacturer says Windows 10 provides whatever drivers are needed. In the meantime I can't use my webcam. Any solutions offered will be gratefully received.

    install webcam on msi laptop

    Hi 1papertiger,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about installing webcam on MSI laptops.

    Most laptops have a built-in webcam on it, If it's not working, there's a problem with the driver or settings of it.

    Step1: I request you to check for Hidden Devices in Device Manager. Please refer to these steps:

    a. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

    b. Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices.

    c. Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.

    d. If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

    e. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

    Step 2: Run the hardware troubleshooter and check if you receive any error messages.

    a. On the desktop, press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.

    b. Click on it and click on Hardware and Sound.

    c. Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompted steps.

    If the laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam on it, you would need to purchase an external webcam, plug it on your laptop and driver will download automatically.

    I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

    Thanks,

    Wilfred P.

    Windows 10 does not recognize HP laptop webcam

    Hi Carl,

    I realize that webcam is not getting recognized on your HP laptop with Windows 10. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:


    • Do you see the web cam listed in Device Manager?

    • Have you installed all pending updates and also updated all device drivers on the pc?

    • What is the error message you get while trying to access the webcam?

    Suggest you to run the hardware troubleshooter and restart the computer to check if this helps.


    • Press “Windows key + X” to click on “Control Panel”.

    • Click on “Troubleshooting” and click on “View all”.

    Click on “Hardware and Devices” to run the troubleshooter. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if this helps.

    Review Windows Update. The Windows Update service is a key item to review. Windows Update may have updated drivers available that may be relevant to your current issue. Many times, updated drivers are listed in the "Optional" section of Windows Update.
    Install any pending updates on the pc to check if that helps.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
