Internal Cam stopped working after Windows 10 May 2019 update installed

[Jules0760]

I have recently installed Windows 10 May 2019 update and both my internal and external cams have stopped working.Spoke to Microsoft who suggested its to do with the BIOS settings for the internal cam anyway.Just need to get it back up and running but drive also seems to have disappeared for internal cam.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

To resolve this issue, reinstall the original HP Webcam-101 or Microsoft USB Video Device driver.

1. In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.

2. Double-click Imaging Devices to expand the list of webcam drivers.

3. If the HP Webcam-101 or Microsoft USB Video Device is listed, right-click the driver and select Update Driver Software and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. Restart your computer, and open your webcam software to see if the problem is resolved.

   If the problem persists, use HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 10, 😎 to go back to a time when the webcam was working properly.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Microsoft tried all of this.

External cam is Logitech HD Webcamc310 but does not allow me to rollback the driver.

Integrated cam has disappeared altogether.No driver showing on list.

This sounds like software related issue, reinstalling windows operating system will install original system software which was shipped the computer.

Click here to perform a System Recovery (Windows 10)

Note: Back up all personal files and read all caution statements before performing a system recovery.

Keep me posted.

Ok

Thankyou

Thats what I thought you would say.But what guarantee do I have that this will resolve the issue.I dont really want to have to do that unless it fixes the integrated cam.The external cam I assume will not work as this was purchased seperately

[Jules0760]

Also what is the point if the drivers for the integrated cam cannot be found on your website.As already explained Microsoft already did all this.

I would request you to contact our Support and our Support Engineers should be able to Remote into your computer and sort this out. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link:www.hp.com/contacthp/

Sorry but first you tell me to do a system recovery now you are telling me to contact support engineers.It is not under warranty and Microsoft have already remotely accessed on 3 occassions and cannot sort it out.They accessed HP drivers and could not find any for the integrated webcam.
