Check Camera Privacy Settings:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera.
  • Ensure that camera access is enabled for your device and apps.

Update Camera Drivers:

  • Find your camera under Imaging Devices.
  • Right-click on your camera and select Update Driver.
  • Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.

Reinstall Camera Drivers:

  • In Device Manager, right-click on your camera and select Uninstall device.
  • Restart your computer. Windows should automatically reinstall the driver.

Check for Hidden Devices:
