    Windows 10 Camera Opens, but closes in 5 Seconds

    MS-Windows 'Camera Window' opens, but only for about 5 Seconds, then closes.

    Haven't previously used the Windows Camera on my Laptop. (Rely on my Tablet). Today, pinned Windows Camera to Task Bar, checked 'Settings\Privacy\Camera' set to 'Allow Access'
    and that Settings\Camera shows 'Camera Switched On'.

    Every time I attempt to use the Camera, a Window Opens displaying it, but only for about 5 Seconds, then closes.

    During the 5 Seconds the Window stays open, I tried clicking the Camera Settings Cog (which responds by opening to show a list of settings) but the Camera Window still closes before anything else can be done / clicked. (Can't keep it open for longer than 5
    Seconds, literally).

    Running latest 64bit Windows 10 Professional on an elderly Sony VAIO Laptop (9 Years Old). Everything else working fine, as far as I can tell. Thoughts? (Thanks in advance for any Comments).

    Very much appreciate your detailed suggestions (Thank You)

    Implemented 1,2 & 3 but (unfortunately) without success.

    Strangely, after following the Uninstall Windows Camera steps, then Restarting my PC, when I opened Device Manager the Camera still appeared in there. (It's Properties said is was 'working').

    Tried uninstalling it several times, using slightly different methods in Power Shell Admin, but each time after Restart, the Camera continues to appear in Device Manager (assuming it's called USB 2.0 Camera - Manufacturer Microsoft).

    I even installed a fresh version of the Camera from MS Store, but after - yet another - Restart, Device Manager ‘still’ showed it, with the original Driver Date (2006!!). Tried Driver Update but that returned a result saying I had the most compatible Driver
    (Still 2006!!).

    Unable to try your Point ‘4’ because, sometime ago, Sony stopped Supporting VAIO and never got round to Supporting Windows 10 for VAIO.

    Accordingly, as far as I can guess, there won't be a Windows 10 Compatible VAIO Driver provided by Sony for their VAIO.

    Can only think I need to install a 3rd Party Camera App, but haven’t a clue which one might be a safe bet. Guess I’ll need to start Researching 3rd Party Cameras.

    Thanks again.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
