    My laptop's camera suddenly turned on itself.


    Hello,I left my laptop a few minutes ago to do some stuff outside my room. As I came back to my chair, I notice that my camera has been activated It has blue light indicator next to it. I had no software/application that uses camera at the time, so it confuses me. I decided to check on Event Viewer but I'm not finding anything. Is there anyway to check camera usage, such as log? And if possible, also to whom if there is any data transfer the data being transferred to? Thank you.Dam.

    :)

    Thanks for updating us on the results of the troubleshooting steps that you have completed. Since the built-in webcam is still not working correctly and the same error code 0xA00F4244 (0xC00DABED) is still appearing, we suggest that we check the camera privacy
    settings to see if the camera access is turned on. Kindly follow the steps below to check the camera privacy settings:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
    • Near the top of the Settings app window is the search box, kindly type the word "webcam" or "camera".
    • From the list of results choose Camera privacy settings.
    • Make sure that "Let apps use my camera" toggle is set to On.

    We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.
