Windows 10: LifeCam Studio and Win10 1909

My Lifecam Studio is installing as "WebCam" on build 1909. I managed after multiple attempts to have it properly detected on my home system, but it refuses to install properly on my work laptop. The one clue I have was the error "not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match" under the device entry.

After uninstalling the webcam and the usb composite device and rebooting, the error is no longer there but it is still a non-functioning "WebCam". The Build 1909 troubleshooter, of course, is no help. Any ideas?

:)

Windows 10 Lifecam Studio

I don't think that LifeCam is fully compatible with Windows 10 as Windows 10 isn't listed on the operating system scroll on https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/lifecam-studio.

 

Microsoft LifeCam Studio

GOOD MORNING

Thanks for responding to my question. My LifeCam Studio is not downloading properly. I've tried every recommendation given and no success.

If I may: I run windows10 PRO on a Gateway SX2855 Desktop. In Installing the webcam, links tell me of the installing and completion of install of the LifeCam Studio. When I open the camera link I see myself on screen with directions to operate the installed
Camera although there would be no image without the LifeCam Studio being installed, there are no features, controls, etc, nothing relating to the LifeCam Studio.

In Programs and Features there is no mention of the LifeCam Studio Although, I found it in Device Manager! I can find no LifeCam Studio software or mention of it on my computer. I have followed the link for "LifeCam Updates", the link goes back and forth
telling me to "make sure that the LifeCam is connected". I do, and nothing happens.

Now I've done all the 'uninstalls and installs' I can think of and the ones I've been instructed to do. I've even bought a Driver Update service. So, please help me if you can. I'm open to any suggestions you may have.

A final though: Do I have a defective Camera?
