The built in camera is not working properly on my All-in-one PC. It uses the facial recognition when opening the computer but when I open the camera application it says the following message
error code: 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>
not quite sure what to do here as its a built in Camera...

@NK45
Did you check the Camera On/Off button located on the right side of the computer? Its very small and hard to see, but can easily get turned off which would remove the Camera from the Device Manager. No matter what you do it won't show up unless its on. Trust me!
