Need Help Reinstalling Camera Driver on HP Victus (Error Code: 0xA00F4244)

[Pratik_Bagul]

My camera isn't working, and I accidentally deleted the camera driver from Device Manager. Now I’m not sure how to reinstall it. I tried visiting the official HP Software and Drivers website, but I couldn’t find a compatible camera driver for my device.

The error message I'm getting is:

We can't find your camera.
Error code: 0xA00F4244

My device is: HP Victus laptop

Why are there no compatible camera drivers listed on HP’s official support site for my laptop?
Where else can I download and install the correct camera driver?
What’s the solution?

Hi @Pratik_Bagul,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

Thanks for the detailed info. Since you've accidentally deleted the camera driver on your Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 (680A2AV) and are seeing the error:
 

"We can't find your camera. Error code: 0xA00F4244"
 

Here's how to fix it:

Step-by-Step: Reinstall the Camera Driver
 

1. Use Windows to Reinstall the Driver Automatically

1. Press Windows + X > Device Manager.
2. Click Action > Scan for hardware changes.
3. If the camera is detected, Windows will reinstall the HID or USB Imaging Device driver automatically.

2. Use a generic Windows driver (USB Video Device)

If Update doesn’t help:

1. Open Device Manager, locate the camera (it might show under “Other devices” or “Unknown devices”).
2. Right‑click > Update driver
3. Choose Browse my computer > Let me pick
4. Select USB Video Device, then click Next to install the generic driver

3. Scan for hardware changes

• In Device Manager: from the top menu, click Action > Scan for hardware changes. This may detect and reinstall the camera device automatically

Additional checks to run

• BIOS camera enable: Restart and press F10 (for HP), enter BIOS → ensure built‑in camera is enabled 

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
