Windows 10: Lenovo Easy camera not working on Windows 10

When attempting to use the built in camera on a Lenovo laptop the camera does not work. Instead of seeing the image from the camera you see an image with a grey background and a white camera with a cross through it.

The same image is seen with all applications.

Lenovo Easy Camera not working with Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.


In most of the cases webcam might not work if it is not compatible with the generic driver or if supporting software is not installed.


I would suggest you to update the Camera drivers from the
device manger.

• Press Windows + X key and select Device manager.
  
• Select Imaging devices and select Lenovo Easy Camera.
  
• Right click and select Update the driver.
  
• Follow on screen steps and check.

If it doesn't help then I would suggest you to check in the manufacturer's website for compatible Camera drivers and install it and also any supporting webcam software:

Lenovo Support:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products?tabName=Downloads&linkTrack=Mast:SubNav:Supportroduct

If this doesn’t work then follow the same way and Uninstall the camera driver and restart the machine.


Windows 10 will automatically detect the Camera while you use it and installs the required drivers for it.


Keep us posted to help you better.

Lenovo Easy Camera not working

Just realized something else - Sometimes when I boot up there is no listing for camera in Device Manager - Sometimes tab for Action does not include Rescan. One time the camera was under the heading Imaging Devices and for awhile now is under Cameras.
Sometimes says "PC Camera" and now says "Lenovo Easy Camera". If I scan for hardware changes the Camera disappears but will reappear on reboot but not work. I then waited for a couple of minutes and did a rescan and voila - Camera listed with no yellow triangle.
Even though I installed a 2014 driver and tell it to update it says it can't find any.
