Windows 10: Why does my device management not have the camera function for the built in camera?

My built in camera isn't working and I checked device manager and it didn't have the camera or imaging tab/function in it. What do I do instead to get my camera to work again? I just installed Windows 11 today in hopes that would fix the camera problem but it didn't.

built in camera is not listed in device manager

Thank you so much for your effort but camera is not listed in device manager, so I cannot do what you suggested. Thank you.

 

In-built camera "dropping out" of device manager

My in-built camera on my HP All-in-one pc has suddenly started "dropping out"

If I look in device manager the camera isn't listed, but a usb device is highlighted as an issue, if I disable then enable that usb device the camera returns to the Device manager listing and works perfectly. Then, after a shutdown or putting the pc to
sleep the camera is not listed/working.

I haven't made any particular changes that I'm aware would provoke this issue.

See screenshots below - as I say, once the erroring usb device is dis/enables the camera is listed and works fine

Any help much appreciated!
