@catalina26, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Option 1: Reinstall via Device Manager

Right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager.

In Device Manager, scroll down and look for Imaging Devices or Cameras.

If your camera is listed but has a warning icon, right-click and select Enable device.

If it’s not listed:

Click Action in the top menu, 

Select Scan for hardware changes.

This may detect and reinstall the camera automatically.

 

Option 2: Use Windows Update

Open Settings > Windows Update.

Click Check for updates.

Look under Optional updates – sometimes driver updates are listed there.

 

Option 3: Using HP Support Assistant

Check for Updates:

Open HP Support Assistant.

Go to the My Dashboard tab.

Click on Updates to check for and install the latest drivers and BIOS updates.

 

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
