    Why is my camera app showing a Grayed/colorless perspective? How to fix this?


    When opening my camera app, my screen shows a black and white perspective of the thing that is in front of the lense. theres no setting to change the webcam & I've tried changing the saturation on other apps.

    download Windows camera app

    Success in resetting Store; that produced a download of the Windows camera, despite seeing error message again, download proceeded. Screen shows MS app for Windows camera and indicates downloaded. (Camera now listed in app list.) But when Launch was selected,
    no action after screen with camera icon. Eventually message appeared " something went wrong: here is message code if needed: 0x400F4271>MediaCaptureFailedEvent>0xC00D3704. We seem to be moving ahead a step at a time. Next suggestion?

    Windows Camera App not showing under App Volume and Device Preferences

    Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 5502 running Windows 10 version 22H2. I have a sound issue. Under Settings>System>Sound >Advanced Sound Options>App volume and device preferences I have my system default sound input set to Virtual Cable, and I individually choose the input for other individual apps (Audacity, voice recorder etc). [[ See Picture ]] However, I want to set the input for the Windows Camera app (webcam) to "Microphone Array" (the built in laptop microphone), but the Camera App is NOT showing up in the list when I start the app. So I can't change the audio input for the webcam app unless I change the default setting for the whole system first. How do I change just the input preference for the camera app? Or how do I get the camera app to properly show up in the list of apps under: Thanks!!

    - - - Updated - - - NEVER MIND, I just found it. Apparently, even thought the Windows Camera app is running, it will not show up in that list until you initiate a video recording. Then it appears. That is not the case, for example, with Windows voice recorder, which will appear in the list even though it's not recording anything. Stupid computer systems. lol. ok, it's me. Have a great day, week, year and life everyone!!!!!
