Hi @Himanshu687-sou,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you've already tried many of the common troubleshooting steps. Here are a few additional things you can check to resolve the issue with your built-in camera:
 

Check BIOS Settings: Sometimes the camera can be disabled in the BIOS settings. To check this:

  • Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup (usually by pressing F10, F2, or Esc during startup).
  • Look for any settings related to the built-in camera and make sure it is enabled.
  • Save and exit the BIOS setup, then restart your laptop.

Reinstall Camera Drivers:

  • Go to Device Manager.
  • If you don't see "Imaging Devices" or "Cameras," try looking under System Devices or Unknown Devices.
  • If you find any related entries, right-click and choose Uninstall device. Restart your laptop to let Windows attempt to reinstall the driver automatically.
  • If no drivers are found, visit the HP Support website and search for the specific model of your Victus laptop to download and install the latest camera drivers.

Check HP Support Website: Sometimes, specific drivers or firmware updates are needed. Ensure you have the latest drivers from HP: Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Go to the HP Support website and enter your laptop’s model number.
  • Download and install any camera drivers or firmware updates listed.

Windows Troubleshooter:

  • Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
  • Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to see if it detects any issues with the built-in camera.

Check for Hardware Issues: HP PCs - Testing for hardware failures

  • Since an external camera works, there could be a hardware issue with the built-in camera.

Check System Files:

  • Run the System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool (DISM) to check for and repair any corrupt system files.
    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands 
      sfc /scannow
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Refer to this document: HP PCs - "We can't find your camera" error is displayed in Camera app in Windows 10
 

Troubleshoot the webcam (Windows 11 and Windows 10)

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
