HP Spectre x360 - 15-df1002tx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP laptop Spectre X360 's privacy camera switch is off, but still, the camera is turning on by itself (showing LED on) and most of the time the camera on-off symbol is appearing on the screen and disappearing. I tried the system scan with Malwarebytes and removed potential threat files still the problem is not resolved.

hello

Check to see which programs are listed in "Startup" - there may be an application that has permission to use your webcam (camera) and that application is starting when you log into your computer.

go into setting>camera privecy settings and check wich program has permition or disable "allow apss to accsess your camera settings 

 

hope it help you
