Windows 10: Question Regarding My Laptop's Camera Driver

Hello all,

I am having a problem trying to turn my integrated camera back on my laptop. This all started when I tried to join a zoom meeting and my camera was not turning on. Once the meeting was over, I opened the camera app and received this message The error message will be appended at the bottom. After I got this message, I followed this video step-by-step to try and resolve the issue. I removed the camera from my laptop's device manager and now I cannot find a way to reinstall the camera driver so that it appears again on my device manager and the camera still produces the error message. The type of laptop that I have is a Dell G5 5590 Laptop. Please let me know if you have any extra questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for any help that you can give!

:)

 

Laptop driver/reformat question

This is excellent advice. Writing down the list of installed devices prior to re-formatting will save you a lot of heartache. With that list, you won't have to try to figure out exactly which wireless card or web cam driver you need since there will likely be several to choose from.
