Windows 10: Windows unable to detect camera

My laptop was working fine till today when the inbuilt camera just stopped working. It kept saying NoCamerasAreAttaches. I tried looking up solutions, yet none of them seemed to work and camera wasn’t even showing up on device manager. At last I completely factory reset my laptop, hoping it would solve the problem, but the same problem just happened again.

does anyone have a solution to this? Hoping the reddit community can help me out
