    Web Cam and DeviceCensus.exe trying to run??


    I am running ESET Internet Security on our Dell laptop (Windows 10 Home 32bit). The Security keeps saying that the Web Cam is trying to run? We keep blocking it as we are not being asked to be looked at. The program trying to run the program is C:\Windows\System32\DeviceCensus.exe. What on earth in Windows is trying to run this and use the Web Cam. I have looked in the folder but I cannot see the executable but it must be there. Any ideas? Particuarly how I can stop this running and so not have to keep blocking it with my security package?

    :)

  2. Web cam on Skype

    Hi Martha,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Have you updated the drivers for the web cam?

    Does this issue occur only on Skype?

    I suggest you to install the attest drivers from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    To install the driver updates follow the below steps.


    • Open run command window( Windows key + R) and type devmgmt.msc

    • Right click on driver and select update driver software.

    • If the driver updates are not available install it from manufacture website.

    Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

  3. Web cam not working.

    Hi Maryo,

    We need more information about your concern. Is this a built-in web cam or an external web cam? If it's an external web cam, we suggest that you try and use other ports and see if it helps. You can also try to download the web cam driver through the manufacturer's
    website.

    Looking forward to your response.
