integrated camera not working

My integrated webcam for my Lenovo laptop is not working now. Was working last month. I have gone through all troubleshooting and uninstalled and reinstalled driver. Still no help. Anyone having this issue or have a suggestion? No external switch to turn on and off camera and camera light turns on but nothing.

 

Dell Integrated Camera Not Working

Hi,

I have a Window 11 Dell 9520 Laptop, where the integrated camera has stopped working; error code 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>.

I have tried many different solutions on the web for this, but none seem to work:

• Update the driver in device manager
  
  • Camera is not a category
    
• Add legacy hardware
  
  • Nothing is found via auto-detect
    
  • Dell says my drivers are all up to date when I try and find it manually
    
• Uninstalled the virus scanner
  
• Made sure the camera was turned on in the BIOS set-up
  

I'm struggling to find any other solution to this, so any help would be appreciated, the camera doesn't work on any program.

• Download the Integrated webcam drivers from the manufacturer’s website.

  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
