Thanks for keeping me posted
This seems to be a driver issue
I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...
The HPSA will automatically look for all the latest drivers for your Notebook
- Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.
- Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.
- Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.
- Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.
- Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.
Also ensure Windows 10 is up to date
Select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update , and select Check for updates.
Keep me posted how it goes
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend 😊

I am responding on behalf of @KrazyToad as he is out for the day. It is great to have you back and your patience is greatly appreciated.
I recommend you perform a system restore on the computer back to the date when the webcam was working fine.
Follow the steps in the below artilce to perform a system restore.
