After uninstalling I tried running scan for hardware changes, but the camera app didn't show in device manager.
Tried various things such as installing imaging devices but did not work,
Tried searching for driver on HP website but it's not there.
Requesting help in this case.

Hi @Siidd,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
If you have uninstalled the camera driver from your HP Victus laptop and it doesn't reappear in Device Manager, here are the steps you can take to restore it
Restart Your Laptop:
- Sometimes a simple restart can help your system detect missing hardware components and automatically reinstall generic drivers.
Check for Windows Updates:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates. Windows will automatically detect and reinstall the camera driver.
Use Windows Troubleshooter:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot and run the troubleshooter for Hardware and Devices.
Download Drivers from HP Support:
- Visit the HP Support Website and:
- Enter your laptop’s model number in the search bar.
- Navigate to the drivers or software section.
- Look for any available driver updates, especially BIOS updates or related software that might include the camera driver.
I hope this helps.
