Hi @jwall7925,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The camera icon on your HP ENVY Laptop PC 17 desktop might be there for a few reasons.

 

  • Camera App Shortcut: It could be a shortcut to the default camera app or another camera-related application you installed.
  • Recent Software Installation: If you've recently installed software that uses the camera, such as video conferencing or photo editing apps, it might have placed a shortcut on the desktop.
  • System Update: A recent system update might have added the icon to your desktop.
  • Accidental Creation: You might have accidentally created a shortcut to the camera app and placed it on your desktop.

 

If you don't need the icon, you can remove it by right-clicking on it and selecting "Delete." This will only remove the shortcut, not the actual camera application.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
