    my camera app is showing a black screen

    Hello,

    I have similar issue black screen in Skype and Camera. I installed Yawcamera and I my webcam works fine.. Only in Skype/Camera from UWP does not work. I think UWP causes this issue.
    Webcam has all Privacy permissions.

    Regards,

    Windows 10 1709 - Webcam not found by Skype App

    Hello,

    probably after the recent 1709 upgrade (or maybe one upgrade earlier), my Philips SPC530NC webcam is no longer working. Here are the details:

    - Webcam not found by Skype App.

    - Webcam not found by any other App from the MS store

    - Microphone on the SPC530NC is working, also in Skype App

    - Webcam is found (!) and working the Skype Desktop App, also in a browser online webcam test.

    => so only windows 10 store apps do not find the webcam.

    => Webcam access in Windows 10 privacy settings is allowed for skype, etc.

    => device manager does not show any hidden or disconnected webcam or usb video devices.

    what is the problem here?

    thank you.

    MFJ

    What Antivirus are you using? It seems, that it is protecting your webcam from running.
