Windows 10: ThinkPad T440 Integrated WebCam not working

Hello!

I am a proud owner of an older ThinkPad T440 unit.

The laptop itself works great and is just what I need for my purposes.

That said, I do have a problem with it that I was hoping some of you guys could help me solve, since most internet tips failed and I was thinking someone also had the same issue on this model and was able to solve it.

Namely - the integrated camera does not work on Windows 10.

I dual boot Windows 10 and Pop OS! and on my Linux Distro, the camera works great out of the box.

The camera also works on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Manjaro and Deepin OS (those are the ones I tested on this laptop, but I assume that it simply works well on all Linux distros).

As for Windows 10, I tried installing Lenovo Vantage and checking the camera options there, but nothing happens when I turn Privacy on or off.

PHOTO EXAMPLE

I also tried:

• reinstalling the drivers,
• replacing them with the default Windows generic drivers,
• updating the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package software,
• uninstalling the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package software,
• using all F keys with the function key on the keyboard (F1, F2 etc.),
• I have no lens covers or buttons to enable/disable the webcam
• reinstalling Windows completely (clean install, without dual boot).

The specs of my laptop are as follows:

• Intel Core i5-4300u @ 1.90GHz
• Intel HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2)
• 8GB DDRIII Memory
• ASUS SSD 240GB
• Windows version: 1909

Let me know if I can provide any further information!

Thank you so much!

:)

Integrated webcam not working

Hello,

0xA00F4244 error code may be caused by an antivirus software that's blocking the camera or it could be an outdated webcam driver. Follow the troubleshooting steps below:

Method 1: Disable antivirus.

In your antivirus app, look for settings related to blocking access or permission to use your webcam. For help, visit your antivirus software company’s website.

Method 2: Check for an outdated webcam driver.

• Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and then select
  Device Manager from the search results.
• Find your webcam under Imaging devices or Sound, video and game controllers.
• Press and hold (or right-click) the name of your webcam, and then select
  Properties.
• Select the Driver tab, select the Driver Details button, and look for a file name that includes
  stream.sys. If it’s there, your webcam was designed before Windows 7 and you'll have to replace it with a newer webcam.
• If you don't find a file name that includes stream.sys, try rolling back your webcam driver.

Method 3: Roll back your webcam driver.

• In Device Manager, press and hold (or right-click) your webcam, and then select
  Properties.
• Select the Driver tab, select Roll Back Driver, and then choose
  Yes. (Note that some drivers don’t provide a rollback option.)
• After the rollback is complete, restart your PC, and then try opening the Camera app again.
• If rolling back didn’t work or isn’t available, uninstall your webcam driver and scan for hardware changes.
  

Method 4: Uninstall your webcam driver and scan for hardware changes.

• In Device Manager, press and hold (or right-click) your webcam, and then select
  Properties.
• Select the Driver tab, select Uninstall >
  Delete the driver software for this device, and then select OK.
• In Device Manager, on the Action menu, select
  Scan for hardware changes. Wait for it to scan and reinstall updated drivers, restart your PC, and then try opening the Camera app again.
  
• If your webcam still doesn’t work, try looking for help on the webcam manufacturer’s website.
  

Let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps.
