Windows 10: Webcam not recognized by Camera App

The Webcam I currently use is recognized is not recognized by the Camera App or any Browser. For some reason it works in Skype and Discord.

The Error Message in the Windows Camera app is: 0xA00F4288 <AllCamerasAreReserved>

I have no idea why this is happening. It happens after startup when no other applications are even open.

I would be glad for any help regarding this issue

Windows 10 Camera App: "Close other apps" Error 0xA00F4243(0xC00D3704)

I recently purchased a Logitech Brio 4k UHD webcam. To test it out, I opened up the Windows Camera app, only to be met with an error message "Close other apps: It looks like another app is using the camera already. 0xA00F4243(0xC00D3704)"

I tried the basic troubleshooting steps such as reinstalling the driver, resetting the Camera app, contacting Logitech, which only resulted in escalating the case.

I also tried Finding out which app is using the webcam, using Process Explorer to determine which process is accessing the webcam, but Processor Explorer reports 0 processes using the webcam.

The webcam is somewhat functional; Windows Hello works, and the webcam is recognized by Skype, so my guess is that there is a driver compatibility issue with the latest Windows 10 update or something. Does anyone know how to resolve this error?

 

Camera app - webcams only?


Is the Windows 10 camera app only for webcams or something? I tried connecting my Canon IXUS 95IS and Windows detects it properly but the Camera app doesn't.
