Hi @LAPTOP-JMBR2BPI,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The "Camera error 0xA00F4244" usually indicates a problem with the camera's driver or a setting issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve this.

 

Check Camera Privacy Settings:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera.
  • Make sure that access to the camera is allowed for apps.
  • Ensure that apps (such as the Camera app) are allowed to access your camera.

Update or Reinstall Camera Driver:

  • Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
  • Expand the Imaging Devices section, right-click on your camera, and select Update driver.
  • If updating doesn't work, try Uninstalling the driver and then restarting your laptop to reinstall it automatically.

Run Windows Troubleshooter:

  • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
  • Select Camera and run the troubleshooter to check for any issues.

Check for Windows Updates:

  • Sometimes, a Windows update may include camera driver updates or fix known issues.
  • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click Check for updates.

Check for Other Apps Using the Camera:

  • Ensure that no other apps are using the camera in the background. Close any applications that may be accessing the camera (e.g., Zoom, Skype).

Disable and Re-enable the Camera:

  • In Device Manager, right-click your camera under Imaging Devices, select Disable device, wait a few seconds, and then select Enable device.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
