Both my husband and I have Lenovo laptops (S340-15IIL Touch Laptop (ideapad) - Type 81WW and IdeaPad 5i) and after the latest windows update our integrated cameras do not work in any apps or programs. We have tried all the troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, F8, etc.
When we view the camera in settings it has a solid gray box (the indicator light shows next to the camera showing it is in use). Also have tried the Camera app and experience the same gray box. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix?

2025-01-14T17:55:46+00:00 Hi!
I have the same problem and the way to fix it is:
- Open Device Administrator
- Find the line of the integrated camera
- Right click and select Properties
- Select Controller tab
- Click on "revert to previous controller" (o something like this, my Windows version is in Spanish)
Apparently there is an incompatibility between the Lenovo driver and the last Windows version
If this doesn't works try first to unistall the device (right click on Integrated Camera in the Device Administrator and select unistall device), reboot. You can find after reboot that the camera works fine, but about 5-10 minutes doesn't works. Then you can try the solution above.
I hope this fix tour problem.
Regards,
Carlos

Hi @spoorthi Nalwade
I had the same model and same issue.- Have you looked into the f8 key (please try to press the f8 key if this works)
if still not working, try to uninstall the lenovo vantage software and
- downloading an older version of Lenovo Vantage software, which you can try here: Download Link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AyDrTrPHMp9EXRIdrNef-7j1SIu-Ng59/view?usp=sharing). Hopefully, this helps!
