Windows 10: New laptop won't let me turn on Windows Hello webcam

Hi all,


I just bought a new laptop with Windows Hello, however the sign-in settings menu does not detect / allow me to set up my face. The laptop is clearly advertised with Windows Hello and I see the infrared lights / cameras around the webcam.


The laptop is the EVOO EG-LP5-BK Gaming Laptop.


Please advise on what I should do next. Thanks.

:)

laptop webcam is out of order

Hi Lov Dollente,

• What's the make and model of your laptop? Aus, N750JK
• Have you made any changes prior to this issue? I haven`t, but I believe it has occured after my Laptop did some Windows Updates!!!
• Are you receiving any error messages when trying to use your webcam?
  No, I haven`t!

Meanwhile, we suggest updating your webcam driver to troubleshoot this issue. To do so, please refer to this link.
If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try checking for one on your device manufacturer's website. I have already contacted them and they don`t have any. As they had told me, it is all on Windows drivers!!!

Get back to us with the result. Unfortunately, I didn`t get any, jet!!!
