HP Spectre Pro x360 G2
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Spectre Pro x360 G2 laptop with an HP Wide Vision FHD Camera incorporated.

When I use software which makes use of the camera (e.g. Camera or Skype), and I minimize this (e.g. with a click on the respective icon on the taskbar or on the minimize minus button on the app), the video disappears.

It reappears after switching to the mentioned apps back.

 

I tried to minimize the apps also after recent Windows updates, but the problem persists.

Also, I've tried to manually update the drivers for the camera, but the only answer is drivers are already up-to-date.

 

Is it an expected behavior? How to change this?
