Camera / Webcam not on device manager list - Windows 10

Can't believe I figured this out.  Not an IT person and not always the brightest person but this worked for me after piecing together replies posted by others for 3 hours and LOTS of trial and error.   

Problem (Dell Latitude): Although I could see the CAMERA app in my list of APPS, it wasn't listed in DEVICE MANAGER. Error Message when I did a search at the START menu for CAMERA was "NO CAMERAS ARE ATTACHED".

Resolution (from what I remember...I didn't think it would work so I didn't write anything down and memory is shot):

Note: Make sure HIDDEN DEVICES is selected from the VIEW tab. ALLOW APPS TO ACCESS YOUR CAMERA should be ON in CAMERA SETTINGS. Probably other things too but I can't recall.  Give this a shot...

1. Go to DEVICE MANAGER (assuming that CAMERA isn't listed...go to #2)
2. Select SOUND, VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS from list
3. From that list, select INTEL(R) AVSTREAM CAMERA 2500 (or anything that has the word CAMERA!)
4. Double-click
5. Select DRIVER tab
6. Select UPDATE DRIVER
7. Restart computer
8. Go to DEVICE MANAGER
9. CAMERA should now be listed (and working)
10. Brag about your success on Microsoft Community

HI there,

I have an HP Envy with Windows 10 and can't seem to get my webcam / camera to work.

It is not listed on the Device Manager list.

Thanks for the help.

Hey guys, I have the error code "0xa00f4244" even though it's built in for my Acer Nitro AN515-54. I also have an error for my USB Device Descriptor from an 'unknown device' I have tried device manager and done every step I can to identify where my camera is but, it still doesn't show up. I have used the windows help services and the troubleshooter. I have also updated my windows 10 to the latest version. I do not know what to else to do because there wasn't this problem just over a month ago.

Kind Regards

i also have the same problem but i still dont have the camera there, how is that??
