The Camera on my laptop is not working. Whenever I start Camera app, the little light besides the camera switches on, but on the screen I don't get to see anything. The screen remains blank (black). It shows the error code: 0xA00F4292 The Camera doesn't work on video calls either, the above mentioned thing happens.
