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.

    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.

    Tried that (a rebuild) and didn't work. Be careful!! And good luck.

    *The issue seems to be that there are hidden files, under the boot partitions, and if the reboot picks the driver up from there, nothing you do will fix it. Microsoft strikes again and then buries its head in the sand.

    Dell says it is a Microsoft issue as it uses standard Microsoft drivers.

    If you look at Events, I have this:

    Device USB\VID_0BDA&PID_5671&MI_00\6&2008442e&0&0000 had a problem starting.

    Driver Name: usbvideo.inf

    Class Guid: {ca3e7ab9-b4c3-4ae6-8251-579ef933890f}

    Service: usbvideo

    Lower Filters: WdmCompanionFilter

    Upper Filters:

    Problem: 0x0

    Problem Status: 0xC00000E5

    It is a Microsoft issue as the drivers are all from Microsoft.
