Hello! I have Surface Pro 7 i3 4/128 Gb. Camera works several times for Windows Hello and then stops, camera light always on until reboot. I have all updates.

I tried:

  1. uninstall camera in Device Manager;
  2. check and uncheck camera in UEFI;
  3. fresh start and reset;
  4. reinstall Windows with MediaCreationTool1909.

The last method helped me for a week, camera light stopped turns on for Windows Hello (only IR camera turned on) and camera worked. Now camera turns on again and stops after 2-10 times. How to fix it?

    I am also having this issue. Is this a hardware issue with some tablets or is it a software issue with all of them?

    If it helps, since the latest driver update, this problem occurs much less frequently, but I am getting fairly regular blue-screens. The error codes are: "FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE" and "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area".
