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?

Have the same problem. Windows 11 Upgraded and the camera stops working. Lenovo product page does not list drivers for windows 11 for my laptop. tried other drivers but doesnt work. Keep getting "used by another app" error in the Camera app. Gonna look into downgrading to Windows 10 unless someone can point me to a solution.
Thank you so much for the clue.
OMG i searched so long for what could be causing my camera not to work. i installed and uninstalled updates and drivers. When this was the issue the entire time lol.
THANK YOU.
Here is a driver-based solution that worked for me. This Windows 11 Driver worked for my Ideapad S340 when it upgrade to Windows 11. Camera now works fully.
Hi did it work ?
