I've had the same issue - and just now, discovered the F10 key controls camera privacy, I must have accidentally bumped that at some stage. Maybe this will help someone else who has the same issue.
Camera Doesn't Work on Windows 11
So Recently, I have discovered that my camera suddenly stopped working, I tried as ALL solutions that I could find (Reinstalling the camera app, updating drivers) but it still doesn't fix, I also installed updates to my drivers and I think this is what is causing all of this. Is there any solution Possible? If so, Please Tell me.

tried capture photos on camera application , but not worked , so i tried on applications like Skype, Online webcam test and Debut Video Capture and Screen Recorder Software.
These installed applications are worked , that means there is no hardware issue in webcam , but problem in Camera app.
Users who are facing in camera, try with other applications.
