Windows 10 update issue - camera

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would require more information to help you better.

What is the make and model of the camera?

I would suggest you to make sure the camera is installed properly and listed under Device Manager.

Follow these steps:

• Press “Windows key + X” from keyboard.
• Select “Device Manager” option from the list.
• Check if the Camera is listed in the devices list.

If it is not listed then the Camera driver is not installed. I would suggest you to run “Hardware and Devices” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

If the camera is listed in the device manager, then perform the following troubleshooting methods:

Method 1:

You may try running the Hardware and Device troubleshooter and check if it helps.

a. Press Windows Key +R, type Control Panel.

b. Type troubleshooting in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.

c. Click on Hardware and Sound, click on Hardware and Devices.

d. Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2:

If that doesn’t work, then I would suggest you to perform troubleshooting steps from the link “What
to do if you have problems with an app” to diagnose and fix if the issue is with Camera app.

Method 3:

If this doesn’t fix the issue, I would suggest you to uninstall the camera from Device Manager then reinstall it and then check if this fixes the issue.

Follow these steps:

• Press “Windows key + X” from the keyboard.
• Select “Device Manager” option.
• Search for Camera, then right click and select “Uninstall”.
• Then restart the computer.
• Download the latest driver from the Manufacturer’s website and install it.

Please do let us know if you need any further assistance related to Windows, we will be glad to assist you.

 

camera is not working

Hey Dear, If your built-in camera was working previously, but now it's not working, there could be a number of reasons why it stopped working. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:

1. Check if the camera is enabled: Make sure the camera is turned on or enabled on your device. On some devices, there is a physical switch or button that turns the camera on and off.
   
2. Check if the camera driver is up to date: If the camera driver is outdated, it could cause the camera to stop working. Check if there are any updates available for your camera driver and install them if there are.
   
3. Check if the camera is being used by another application: Sometimes, another application may be using the camera, causing it to not be available to other applications. Make sure to close all other applications that may be using the camera.
   
4. Check for malware or virus: Malware or viruses can cause issues with your device's camera. Run a full system scan to check for any malware or viruses and remove them if detected.
   
5. Restart your device: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix the issue. Restart your device and check if the camera is working again.
   

If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your device for further assistance or consider taking it to a repair shop.
