Windows 10: Missing Camera Driver; Error 0xA00F4244

I have an Asus ZenBook 2 using Windows 10 Pro.


I have never had a problem with the built-in camera before. The issue began in August 2018 when I tried to use Skype and the error being that there were "no available cameras". To make it easier, I will list out all steps that I have taken:

• Opened the camera app and received the error message: "0xA00F4244 <NoCamerasAreAttached>"
• went to settings and changed the security permissions to allow all apps to access camera
• went so far as to uninstall all antivirus software, restart, etc.
• finally decided to check drivers: there is no trace of a webcam / camera driver (see image; two tabs where the camera driver should be are open)
• 
• Even went to the designated Asus website to see if there were any available webcam / camera drivers available (there are none)
• checked for updates (there are none that would solve this issue)

I have tried every option that I am capable of completing and it seems like the "built-in" camera is defunct. Unfortunately, I do not know if this occurred after an update as I rarely use the camera but it would be nice to be able to skype the family on a laptop instead of a mobile phone.


Any insight or assistance on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

:)
