Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 No camera connected in this computer.

Hello.

I have a problem with the Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000

I have connected and installed the Drivers and stuff but when I open the program it says that No camera connected in this computer.

I have tried all the suggestions on the Microsoft help forums with no luck.

 

Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 webcam and Windows 10 Fall Creators update compatibility

The HD-3000 software isn't supported in Windows 10. If the camera isn't working at all, there are two possibilities:

• The camera is defective
• The camera isn't compatible with the latest feature update.

Doing all of the things that the MS "support engineer" suggests are not likely to help.

Hi,

• When was the last time you were able to use the Camera application without encountering any problem?

- I was able to use the camera app before I installed the Lifecam HD-3000 webcam.

- It was installed on January 29, 2017.

- I can use Lifecam HD-3000 with Skype, Viber, and Messenger with no problem.

- It just doesn't work on my computer's Camera app.

• Did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to the issue?

- I didn't make any changes to my computer's configuration prior to this issue.

- I followed the steps you provided below and nothing changed. I still cannot use it on my Camera app.
