    Windows Hello has lost my camera


    Hi all,


    I've been happily using Windows Hello Face to log in for the last year or two Dell XPS 9370, but its stopped working in the last couple of days.

    When I go into the sign-in options it says "We couldn't find a camera compatible with Windows Hello Face".

    I've tried updating, uninstalling and reinstalling my camera drivers the camera works just fine in the camera app with no luck.


    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    • Type Device Manager on Start/Cortana.
    • Click on Imaging devices.
    • Right click Integrated Camera or the name of your camera.
    • Select Update Software or Properties >

      Update Driver.

    Looking forward to your response.
