My webcam isn't working. I've tried to upgrade my OS to Windows 11 Pro to see if that would fix it but it didn't. When I turn the webcam on, it's black. Any help is appreciated.

1 - enter "camera" in the windows search box. An error message may appear. If so, click "Get Help". If there is no "Get Help" then read this article.

2 - Look at the keyboard function keys for a camera icon such as

if you see anything like that the press it and see if the camera starts working. It could also be a physical device such as a switch or a cover that closes over the lens. Some AIOs have an On Screen Display and that might have camera control for on/off. I do not have your particular system so am guessing.

Are there any yellow or red icons (errors) in the device manager?

Please list the device codes (DEV, VEN) of the device that has a problem.
