Windows 10: Webcam keeps getting disconnected

I'd like to ask regarding the problem that I have with my webcam. After I switch on my webcam, after some time, it will keep turned off and on, and when it's off, it seems that my webcam was not detected.


Attached are the videos converted to GIF, one is produced using Zoom meeting, and other one is from the Windows camera app.

Using Camera App





Device as stated in device manager is BisonCam, NB Pro. I tried to update the driver but Windows said that the best drivers are already installed.

Is this a software issue or hardware issue?

Webcam disconnected

Hi,

My integrated webcam appears to be "disconnected".

The device manager lists it under "hidden devices" : USB2.0 1.3M UVC WebCam. The icon is light gray (not active).

Under device "properties" the status says The HW device is currently not connected to the PC (code 45). To correct this problem, reconnect the HW device to the computer. It is not just a driver issue, which is up to date.

How can I reconnect my webcam ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hyper-v keeps getting disconnected with RS1


Only user but keep getting disconnected since upgrading Pro N to RS1
Any suggestions?

Edit: THOUGHT I found problem. My wifi adaptor on pc had got bridge linked with the hyper-v virtual router and that was confusing things. Also explains why I was getting an internet icon.

Reset wifi and now ok.

EDIT 2: ARRGH - Problem is back
