Windows 10: Why privacy setting and third party app setting being over ridden.

I have a sony vaio, the touch pad is broken. I uninstalled the synaptic driver and blocked it from reinstalling years ago. You keep changing and blocking the ability to stop it from being re-downloaded and installed. I have again had to spend 3 hours undoing your ****. there is no software setting from sony that let's me disable it,there is only a button that will randomly fail and suddenly the touchpad is on again. I have the advanced third party driver download set to no but just ignore it and down load and install it anyway. Is there a way to put a stop to your f-ups.

Camera Privacy settings, how to add another app to the list or third party app.

Dear all,

in the settings, privacy, camera, there's a list of apps to define access to the device. My question is, how to add some other app to that list that will use the camera, like a third party app or legacy app.

Many thanks.

at the top is the settings by your name once logged in. There are privacy settings for each section too.

 

Windows 10 Settings App Search Not working

Thank you for providing some suggestions.

I performed step 1, and at the end of the test, it reported "No changes or updates are necessary."

I then performed step 2 and received the same message at the end of the test.

After running the two tests above, I opened up Settings and typed "privacy", which should show some help categories (It does on my other Windows 10 computers). However, on the one computer there is no help information. It states "No result for privacy".
It appears the Settings app help information list is empty or not found. Typing a single character, e.g., 'p', into the search box displays "No result for p".

Any further suggestions are welcome.

Is there a convenient way to have windows 10 try to repair itself without uninstalling my software and/or loosing all of my personal data.

Regards...
