    Surface Pro 6 - Camera is being used


    After a few months of using the new Surface Pro 6, I've noticed that my front-facing camera would occasionally turn on and being used (indicated by the red and white lights). I am not running any applications that would use the camera. It does go away when I restart it but it is still a continuous problem. Is there a reason for this? Am I being watched, getting hacked, or a virus?

    :)

    Surface Pro 6 - Camera is being used

    Windows 10 Camera on Surface Pro 6 Quality Settings

    Why do the surface pro 6's have only three available resolutions in the Camera app? If I use the same app (and version) on a older Surface I get a wider range of "quality" settings with regards to the resolution. Windows 10 is up to date, as are the Surface
    firmware/drivers.

    Is this a bug?
