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
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands
