Windows 10: The Webcam Driver Is Not There In The Device Manager.

Hello,My webcam does not work. It is not there in the device manager. I suppose it would only work if the driver is available in my pc. But it wasn't always so. I've already tried the "View Optional Updates" solution. There is no optional update at all. None of the applications I use, detects the webcam integrated. I checked the anti-virus too. It is in the correct settings. I couldn't troubleshoot either, as there was no option available under the troubleshooters menu. I hope I have provided the necessary details. Please help me resolve this issue.EDIT: Moved from Microsoft Education / Win

Imaging Devices missing in Device Manager and Webcam doesn't working

Hi,

Since you mentioned that the said driver is missing in Device Manager, what we suggest is for you to check in the Hidden Devices section on Device Manager. Kindly follow the steps below:

• On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager.
• Click on View and select
  Show Hidden Devices.
• Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.
• If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select
  Update Driver Software
• Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

Please post back with the result for further assistance

 

No webcam in device manager

Imaging devices are not in Device Manager, There is no Webcam listed, Windows 10 isn't showing the webcam, The manufacturer used the Windows default driver so there are no legacy drivers to download.

For some reason I can't even select a webcam in the install legacy device window.

The imaging devices that are listed are all scanners. Not a single webcam listed.

 

Can't Find WebCam Device in Device Manager


In Win7 I'd do Device Manager > Imaging Devices > USB 2.0 PC Camera to find my USB WebCam and activate it and de-activate the monitor's built-in camera.

But in Win10 Device Manager has no listing for Imaging Devices.




Where in Win10 can I enable and disable webcams?
