Windows 10: Question About My C Drive And My Camera On My Laptop

Hi There! I have two questions for everyone I hope somebody can help me. First question this laptop has a built in front facing camera but when I go to a website to use the camera it will tell me it can't locate my camera. Can anybody please tell me how I can fix this issue? I did go into my settings under camera I saw were it said this app isn't working right then it had a reset button so I click on the reset. I haven't try it since I did the reset button.


Now for my second important question I have been trying to download install some windows updates but it won't let me do it because it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my C drive it said to uninstall programs that you aren't using right now. I did that plus I uploaded all my photos to my Icloud drive in Apple. I even ran a disk cleanup so I can free up some space on my C drive. What is other ways I can free up my C drive so I can download install these windows updates? Plus my daughter wants me to install run this program that I sign up for but when I try to install that it also tells me there is not enough space on my C drive to be able to install. I look forward to hearing back from somebody soon so I can help with these two problems. My laptop is pretty small so I have a feeling it came with a small hard drive.

• From the list of results choose Camera privacy settings.

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