Hi,

the button on the keyboard to shutter/open the webcam no longer works. Does anyone know the reason?
Thanks.

Should we guess what the operating systems is?

 

I take it that you mean the Webcam privacy key.

 

Is the Webcam seen as being recognized as present in the Device Manager?

 

Did this happen after a Windows or HP driver update?

If it did, try System Restore to return the OS to its state on a date before the update happened.
