Windows 10: NEXTBOOK windows tablet camera

There is only one driver for both cameras. Only one camera worked on my Nextbook Tablet until I uninstalled the camera app, applied the two registry files, then re-installed the camera app.

If you look further down in device manager, under system devices you will see the actual camera sensors. Until you uninstall the camera app and apply the registry files, one camera sensor will always have an exclamation point. You can experiment by disabling one camera sensor and rebooting the tablet and switch which camera is active, but it is possible to get both cameras active at the same time.

 

Please can you explain how to uninstall camera app and how to apply the two registry files and how to reinstall camera app.
i would really appreciate your help since I have 2 tablets to fix...thanks

 

Follow steps in the article linked to in Post #9 step 1.

To apply the registry files just double click on each one.

This is my camera app, the switch cameras button is there in the middle, and both cameras work:

 

Were you able to get screen rotation between portrait and landscape working? I have the driver fix for that as well.

 

Yes i want that too please...please share, also reinstalled Windows 10 and camera strangely working now

Thanks a bunch NavyLCDR, just want to tell you i know how to uninstall camera app but dont understand which 2 registry files to click on....can you guide me?

 

NavyLCDR my camera strangely stopped working again....i know how to uninstall camera app, just need to know which 2 files to add to registry and how?

 

Hello NavyLCDR i now know how to add reg files to registry....just need to know how to export camera drivers and reg files from windows 8.1 to the pc? Thanks

 

They are the .reg files in the root directory of the zip file downloaded. The reg files were exported were exported when one camera or the other was working in the camera app. So I figured out that both registry entries needed to be present when the camera app was installed for it to see both cameras. There is only .reg file in the driver zip file for the screen rotation. That registry entry was exported from the Windows 8.1 registry and just corrects the screen orientation.

To apply the .reg files, just double click on them and let the registry editor import the entries.

 

Can u tell me how to easily export the camera drivers with reg file. Also how do I know which reg file applies to which camera? Thanks

 

Drivers are exported by creating a folder to hold them, I call mine DriversW10. From an elevated ("run as administrator") command prompt run:

dism /online /export-driver /destination:E:\DriversW10

The path in red will be to the folder you created to hold the drivers. The dism command will export all the third party drivers that are not included with the Windows standard install.

The reg files are named front - for the "selfie" camera. Rear is for the camera on the back side facing outward. I just had to search the registry to figure out what registry keys were being changed depending upon which camera was working at that moment.

I found the screen orientation correction by google search - but none of the posted corrections worked correctly, so I restored the factory Windows 8.1 and exported the orientation correction key from that registry.

 

Hello NavyLCDR, thanks for your help, things are seeming clearer now. Going to bed now, ill try your procedure to export drivers tomorrow and keep you posted if i have any issues. Thanks a lot bro..

 

Great progress you two! Keep at it *Smile
