Camera on Lenovo ideapad Flex 4 not working

I ran the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter, and it did not find any issues.

I am on a Lenovo Flex 4 1470 and just downloaded the drivers from the Lenovo support site.

The system is patched, has updated BIOS, and is still not able to detect camera. I also tried System Restore to a time when the camera was working, but no luck.

I am still unable to use my camera.

Webcam won't work

Laptop: LENOVO Ideapad Flex 4-1470

WIN 10

VER. 1709

Build: 16299.309

It may have started after an update, I have had a few issues with the couple updates and have been fixing everything but the camera/webcam.

I did the standard things that are suggested, except one that asked me to go into Device Manager, its says to check the drivers. It doesn't show any camera in Device Manager. I've looked under every directory and there isn't any listing for camera or webcam??
