Windows 10: Webcam issues after the windows update.

Hi ,

Currently I am using windows 10 1809 version and i noticed that my web cam is not working after the update. I have searched for options and workarounds all over the internet and could not find a fix for this issue. I understand that this is a bug in the recent update how can i fix this issue? This is really irritating for us. Please suggest us options to fix this issue.


Please note : I have tried all the possible options available in the internet. Like driver reset, EnableFrameServerMode etc. Please let us know when can we expect a fix from the Microsoft for this issue?

Updating Webcam Drivers

I have an ASUS GL551JW with a built-in webcam. I am having sync issues between the audio and video when I use Camtasia 8.6. The software manufacture told me to check my webcam drivers.

I checked the drivers and they are from 2006. They are Microsoft drivers. I contacted ASUS and they couldn't provide me any information on updated drivers, but they were able to give me the following details about my webcam:

I have been searching online but I'm not finding anything that is helpful for obtaining updated drivers. Maybe there aren't any updated drivers, but I am hoping that they've been updated since 2006.

I have already downloaded the Intel chipset drivers from ASUS. I am not sure if that would include the webcam drivers. That's what ASUS told me to download.

Device Manager lists the webcam as: USB2.0 UVC HD Webcam. I am using Windows 10.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or can someone help me find some updated drivers for this webcam?

P.S. I am planning on buying a "real" webcam in the next couple months, but until then, I need to try to get this one working. Everything works fine on this webcam, and the video is good, it's just out of sync with any recorded audio.
