I was using HP w100 USB camera and it was working fine till today. Now its not working and showing an error as belwo.
I checked the device manager and it has changed from w100 to Vimicro USB camera automatically (Image given below).
Can anyone suggest how to correct it? Thanks in advance.

Can you roll back the driver?
I had a similar problem on a Surface Pro 4 but had to get a SP4 update from Microsoft as the old driver did not work with the feature update that I had been forced to upgrade to.
Web cameras have become critical during this COVID crisis and I suspect Microsoft is adapting to new devices that are out.

@kumarraj78 -- if you shutdown and restart the computer, do you get the same error-message?
Does your computer have a built-in camera?
Have you added a USB camera?
Windows should let you select between the two cameras.
