Windows 10: Sometime camera apps works and some time not.

On starting up the laptop some time camera works and some time not. The working of camera app is random. And if once on startup if camera works it will keep on working until i shutdown the laptop and start it again later. And there is no pattern when camera app is going to work or not.

camera not working

If you have the camera connected to the computer, I would suggest that you disconnect the camera and then try to open the Camera app.



If the camera app opens, follow the steps below:

• Press “Windows key + C” from your keyboard to open “Charms bar”.
• Select “Settings” option.
• Select “Permissions” option.
• Turn on “Allow this app to access your: Webcam and Microphone” option.
• Lose the app by pressing “Alt key + F4” from your keyboard.
• Reopen the Camera app.
• Connect your camera and then check how this app works.

Goodluck!
