Windows 10: OBS can use my camera, but not the microsoft camera app itself.

Hi, I just tried to launch the camera app and it showed an error code, but when I checked OBS, my camera worked perfectly. Here is my Camera app screenshot imgur since it won't upload herehttps://imgur.com/a/eVuoDbWAnd here is my OBS screenshothttps://imgur.com/a/FHEq9pm

camera doesn't work in camera app but does in other software

Windows 10, 20H2. The camera app was working fine but i installed logitech capture software and after removing that the camera app won't start anymore, errorcode 0xA00f4246 allcameraloadattemptsfailed. Cursed logitech, i knew it, they can't write decent software. Thing is, luckily the camera works in all other software that i tried, OBS, Skype, Zoom, just not in the windows camera app. I tried several solutions found on the net like reinstalling the camera app, no go yet.. Help appreciated.

 

Change the camera that the Windows 10 camera app uses.

From How to use the Camera app - Microsoft Support:

1. Open the Camera app.
   
2. Swipe in from the bottom edge to see the app commands.
   (If you're using a mouse, right-click within the app.)
   
3. Tap or click the Change camera button.

Unintuitively, the icon in the upper left that looks like it's meant to switch between your front and back camera will also cycle through your other attached cameras. At least, this worked for me on a Surface Pro 4 (front and rear camera) with a USB Microsoft LifeCam attached. The Camera application's version is listed as 2018.227.30.1000.
