Hi @MattHiscox,
Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
Thank you for posting your query. I'll be more than glad to help you.
I understand that you are facing issues with your HP ENVY x360 - 15-ar052sa wherein you get a message that the camera is not found after installing the Face Recognition software.
This issue could occur because of the group policy setting in Windows 10.
Let's go through a few steps that may help to fix this issue.
And here are a few steps in the link: Facial recognition logon doesn't work after you apply a Group Policy setting in Windows 10 - Windows...
You may also download the update from the link: HP ENVY x360 - 15-ar052sa (ENERGY STAR) Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
Let me know if this works.
You have a good day ahead.
