Webcam Problem

[Neil19581]

I have an HP Notebook 14CF1502SA and since the recent windows 11 update my webcam hasn't worked.  I have uninstalled the webcam and restarted the computer to redetect the webcam which was successful. I have run the diagnostic which confirmed the webcam is good so the only conclusion I can come to is a driver fault.  I do ai test/replace/find a working driver?

Hello @Neil19581 

Sometimes Windows needs the latest camera driver for the camera to function well.  While in the Device Manager, right-click on your camera and select Update Driver.  Then click Search Automatically for updated driver software.  The latest driver is always available via Windows Update.

Please report your results

Hello @Neil19581 

(1) HP warranty valid -> Contact HP Support for service repair / analysis / driver update

(2) HP warranty expired:

You are on an uncertain path with Windows 11 ...

Recommendation and solution

You should downgrade to Windows 10 because Windows 11 has not been officially tested and released by <HP> and there are no drivers available.

(1) Make backup copies of the most important personal files and data to external <USB hard drive>.

(2) Downgrade

Please read and follow the guide carefully !

Downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10

See Section <How to downgrade Windows 11 to Windows 10 after 10 days>

Good luck
