    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?????

    :)

    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
