Windows 10: Windows 10 updated, but computer crashes each time I try to open the camera app

I updated Windows 10 with version 21H1, but it didn't help. My computer crashes each time I open up the camera app and the blue screen : appears with SPUVCbv.x64sys. I tried to reset the app, but that didn't help. I haven't been able to use my camera in a while. Help!I tried calling technical support after looking for solutions via help.microsoft.com and they no longer provide live tech support assistance. WHY NOT?????
