Troubleshoot camera problems in Windows

Problem sorted thanks

why not running my camera

My camera is not turning up and I can't update the camera drivers on my pc because it's not showing up anywhere. Please help

Hi

I have a recurrent problem with my integrated camera. The camera cannot be turned on and I get mostly this error message (error code 0xa00f4240) on the camera app. When this happens, it applies to all apps that use the camera.

I have tried all the usual solutions (privacy settings, app permissions, disabling and enabling the camera, updating drivers and Windows.. etc...) but this was not helpful.

I used to run the camera troubleshooter which used to go through all the stages and then ask me the restart the computer. This fixed the problem for a couple of days every time. This happened many times (more than 10 times).

Now the troubleshooter doesn't run as usual for some reason, but only directs me to this page.

I am hoping to get this issue solved once and for all as it seems to be a software issue but recurring all the time for some reason.

Thank you
