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?

    The more I get into these issues the more I come across.

    If I go to start and click photos with my camera in the USB port it brings up my photos to be imported which I do.

    Now when it goes to adding a folder as which I have done in the past, folders would be made however now when I go to make a folder I am taking to Kenneth's Personal photos which in turn appears that it can only make photos in one drive.

    As far as before if I click Camera I still get the same message. I notice there is no eye in the upper part of the computer and wonder if this computer even has the camera feature and if not it will be going back to the dealer.

    This is getting so frustrating.

    It appears these Windows programs are not set up properly as when I click apps as to your instructions that is where things end as beginning with Apps and features and as to the remainder of your instructions.

    P.S.

    I would think that these Windows installations are not performed by an overseas third party who are not / or properly trained to perform the task.

    I recommend doing an "in-place upgrade". This will download Windows 11 installer files and use those to update and repair your system.

    You can follow the video guide in the below link to know how to get it done:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/emb...

    1. Please visit this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-downlo...
    2. There you will see an option "Download tool now"
    3. A media creation tool with the latest version will be downloaded.
    4. Open it in the file location and run it as administrator.
    5. Accept the terms and licenses.
    6. Select the "Upgrade this PC"
    7. And then the downloading will start.
    8. Press "Install" once done.

    The system will restart several times and the updates will happen.
