Error code 0xA00F4271<MediaCaptureFailedEvent> (0x80004005).

I've run trough the Get Help App on my device but after following all the steps camera is still not running.

Any help?

We are aware that customers using Surface Pro X were having issues using the built-in cameras and we have resolved this issue with a driver update.   Please go to Windows Update to install the new driver named Microsoft Corporation – System Hardware Update – 5/26/2023.

    I left Apple because the Surface Pro X was so impressive. . . Until it wasn’t. This camera issue is a killer. I do Zoom Meditations and contract negotiations. NOT with this camera issue. I got a ton of **** going to MS. Turns it wasn’t ****. The detractors nailed it. MS HAS 48 hours to fix this or I’ll have to go back to APPLE just to keep my business going.
