    -I do have restore points and I had gone back to it, but that doesn't fix the problem

    -I believe it occurred when I updated the driver

    -Here's the system info:

    Thank you for letting me know.

    Do you have any restore points you created that you can go back to?

    Did this issue occur after updating the driver only, or was it after updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

    May I know your System Information?

    Thank you Andrew for letting me know.

    I appreciate the details. Since the issue might be related to the driver update, let's try a couple more steps:

    Check if any recent Windows updates might conflict with the camera. You can go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any pending updates.

    Consider rolling back the camera driver to a previous version. You can do this by going to Device Manager, finding the camera under "Imaging devices," right-clicking, selecting "Properties," and navigating to the "Driver" tab.

    Please run Camera Troubleshooter from Get Help app:

    > Go to Settings (Win + I key) > System > Troubleshooter > Other troubleshooters.

    > Click "Run" next to Camera to open the Get Help app.

    > Click "Yes". This will automatically check for automation capabilities, and reset the camera services. Please continue the troubleshooter question until the issue is resolved.

    If issue persists please let me know.

    So....

    -The Issue may have started while I was downloading drivers, but I haven't noticed it until yesterday.

    -Like I said, I downloaded My Manufacturer's (Dell) Recommended Drivers

    -It's a Built in Camera.

    -I did Install the Camera Driver from Dell, But this Problem still Occurs.
