Microsoft Windows 11

Recently i bought a new HP laptop . After an update my webcam stopped working. It showed an error stating no cameras attached (0xA4244).I thought it was just a driver error so i resetted the camera app which didnt worked then i opened device manager and found THAT MY CAMERA ISNT IN THE LIST.I updated all drivers , had a clean install of win 11 , tried the camera in ubuntu too but didnt worked. I even created a registry key named EnableFrameServerMode but failed again.I tried contacting HP but they didnt call back . Now i am frustrated what to do ???? camera appcamera appdevice managerdevice manager
