window crashes when i open camera or microphone setting in privacy

Answers to your questions:

• Yes, both are working properly before.
• Yes, i'm logged in as administrator.
• No app can use camera or microphone. All apps said to allow in the privacy setting.

And i can't really solve using the adjustment on privacy setting. 'cause as i've said before, everytime i open camera or microphone setting in privacy, the window crashes everytime.

as for the troubleshooting, it couldn't identify the problem.

Hi Orangeshearts,

I would like to verify some information regarding the problem with your camera and microphone. Allow me to ask the following:

• Was your camera and microphone working before?
• Aside from updating the drivers, what other updates or changes were performed prior to the problem?
• Are you currently logged in as the administrator?
• Have you set which apps can access and use your camera and microphone?

If you haven't set any apps to use your camera and microphone, then follow these steps:

• Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Camera.
• Make sure that Let apps use my camera hardware is toggled ON.
• Under Choose apps that can use your camera, toggle on the apps you want to give access to.
• Do the same for the microphone. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.

If the issue persists, then please run the Hardware and Device troubleshooter. Here's how:

• In the Cortana search, type in Control Panel, and click it from the search results.
• Click Troubleshooting > View all.
• Search for and click Hardware and Devices.
• Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Please share the results on this thread for further assistance.

Regards.
