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!

camera is not working

Hey Dear, If your built-in camera was working previously, but now it's not working, there could be a number of reasons why it stopped working. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:

1. Check if the camera is enabled: Make sure the camera is turned on or enabled on your device. On some devices, there is a physical switch or button that turns the camera on and off.
   
2. Check if the camera driver is up to date: If the camera driver is outdated, it could cause the camera to stop working. Check if there are any updates available for your camera driver and install them if there are.
   
3. Check if the camera is being used by another application: Sometimes, another application may be using the camera, causing it to not be available to other applications. Make sure to close all other applications that may be using the camera.
   
4. Check for malware or virus: Malware or viruses can cause issues with your device's camera. Run a full system scan to check for any malware or viruses and remove them if detected.
   
5. Restart your device: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix the issue. Restart your device and check if the camera is working again.
   

If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your device for further assistance or consider taking it to a repair shop.
