Normally, my work-round to the problem when Hello does not activate is to initiate 'Restart' option which activates both front cameras and from the on all is OK except that more often than not, the ARC Blue Tooth mouse is slow to activate and requires some manual prompting via 'Settings.' I find that once Hello has been activated, via this process, it works OK for consecutive sessions.

Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience you can go ahead and try this step to reload the drivers for your Surface.
- 1.Press and hold the power button until the screen turns off (about 10 seconds), then release the power button.
- 2.Press and release the power button to turn your Surface back on. You should see the Microsoft logo.
Please keep us posted.

Just bought this surface pro and set up, there is no switch camera button found at all. Please advice. I am using zoom meeting and cannot see me and the video button does not show. The error message said please check your driver. At another help button, I deleted one camera on my device manager. Nothing is working. Please advice.
