    Camera is not opening

    Hi Hardik,

    One of the possible reasons why the camera is not opening after the update is the antivirus software that's blocking it or it could be that the driver is outdated.

    To resolve your concern, we suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps listed on this
    link. The link contains troubleshooting steps such as checking the antivirus and the outdated webcam driver.

    Kindly update us with the result and let us know if you need further help.

    Windows Hello Face Setup Could Not Open the Camera

    I resolved my problem by updating the drivers for my camera. The steps I took were:

    • elect the Start button, typeDevice Manager,
    • When the list of results popped up I expanded the Imaging devices option, which showed the camera on my computer.
    • Right clicked on and selected update Driver.
    • Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

    I restarted my computer. Windows Hello started and accessed the camera. I hope this helps.
