camera driver

[RSJ423]

Hello, I cannot use the webcam on my laptop. When I try to open my camera I get an error code: 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>. There are no camera or imaging drivers in my device manager, my OS is not listed on hp.support.com either. If anyone can help it is much appreciated.

Device: HP Envy x360

OS: Windows 10 22H2 (64-bit)
