Windows 10: My son is having problem in laptop webcam it is not working

My son is having problem in laptop webcam it is not working so how can I resolve this.

:)

 

My laptop USED to have a webcam... Compaq CQ56 102SA

Okay thanks Guys.
I tried most of the things suggested.
I even tried dism/..... restorehealth and sfc /scannow
It found problems and fixed them, but not the webcam.
Speccy does not list the webcam under peripherals.
Its not my anti virus, I tried disabling that and opening the cam app.
I think my only option is to "roll back" Windows 10 to windows 7.
The cam definitely worked in 7.
EDIT:
Whats the deal with 10 Creator? I never heard of this before.

install webcam on msi laptop

Hi 1papertiger,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about installing webcam on MSI laptops.

Most laptops have a built-in webcam on it, If it's not working, there's a problem with the driver or settings of it.

Step1: I request you to check for Hidden Devices in Device Manager. Please refer to these steps:

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

b. Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices.

c. Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.

d. If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

e. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

Step 2: Run the hardware troubleshooter and check if you receive any error messages.

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.

b. Click on it and click on Hardware and Sound.

c. Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompted steps.

If the laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam on it, you would need to purchase an external webcam, plug it on your laptop and driver will download automatically.

I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,
