Camera Missing In Device Manager

My Camera is not showing in Device Manager.

Before I did a scan for any changes I noticed the name in which I named my computer during one of the requests when setting up the Windows 11 installation was not there however after the scan the name was there and when I opened it there was the option to add drivers. My question is should I proceed with adding the drivers?

I just purchased a new computer and went through the motions of installing Windows and I have the same going on in this computer. It's like a spreading cancer however when I check the properties of what folders I do have scattered around the first part of the path after the user is One Drive. Has One Drive taken over my computers?

    Hi

    Did anyone finally get this issue resolved? I open Skype and says No Devices found. Same in Device Management. No Camera, there is a Camera app installed on the laptop but says Device Cannot Be Found

    You'd think that such basic feature would work as it did until a few months ago but annoyingly i don't know what to do

    Oh my god I figured out how to get it back on my computer! The camera option completely went missing from the device manager, so I decided to try something different. I went to the ( device manager) then the ( sound, video and game controllers) I right cliecked on that actually on that exact title, (not anything in the sub-catagories) and hit (scan for hardware changes) and sure enough it put the camera driver back in the device manager list. My camera is back on, unfortunately still blurry, but it's back and now I can figure out the blurry part. FIX THIS MICROSOFT!!! thanks

    This is gonna probably sound weird to you however the reason there was a notice when I clicked camera it's because there is no camera feature.

    It will be going back tomorrow as who knows what else is not there. They checked today for me over the phone and stated the computer is just a game computer.

    If I made file paths that confused any of the Windows apps, folders or files, and if so aren't I just upgrading or repairing everything with the mistakes intact?

    It will refresh Windows OS, everything else will remain same.
