This is absolutely ridiculous! I just got off a chat with Microsoft which took me through several diagnostics, only to come to the conclusion that Windows has been corrupted and must be re-installed, which will wipe everything off my laptop! I can't do that right now! This was poor planning, Microsoft!
Camera / Webcam not on device manager list - Windows 10
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.

2020-02-19T07:53:32+00:00 I have this issue on an Asus Zenbook UX362FA**.**
The first machine I purchased must have had updates installed, as there was no camera available when I first set the computer up.
A replacement machine had the camera working (I checked before I left the shop) , however it went away when I ran Windows Update.
No device listed, no drivers available from Asus. I reinstalled the OS to factory defaults, and camera came back, working fine. I have now installed the Windows Update Blocker to prevent the camera from disappearing again, and having to reset my entire PC, including software and personal files. No Updates are installed.
I am using
SO:
I would like to know when it will be safe to turn on Windows Updates again.

2020-02-15T13:52:22+00:00 I had the same issue - webcam disappeared from Device List, along with all the other issues.
An update never arrived to fix this issue, so I ended up sending my laptop back to the manufacturer who ended up putting in a new webcam (and motherboard, as everything is integrated I was told). I think it was just easier for them to do this than to try and figure out what the update had originally done.

Tengo una HP Envy con Windows 10 y parece que no puedo hacer que mi cámara web / cámara funcione.
