Where can I find the device driver for HP Wide Vision HD Camera for my Victus 15 - fa0000 laptop?

[Equinox0108]

My Laptop Camera has stopped working. When I open the Camera application, I get the error code 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>. Upon checking the Device Manager, the camera always shows up in the Hidden Devices, and the HP Wide Vision HD Camera Driver is always greyed out. I wish to reinstall the device driver for my camera, and its nowhere to be found on the internet. Requesting assistance. Thanks!
Model name:  HP Victus 15-fa0000
OS version: Windows 11 25H2

Hi @Equinox0108,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

That’s frustrating, and I understand how important it is to have your camera working again on your HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 (680A2AV), especially when it suddenly disappears. Let’s fix this together step by step:

Step 1: Enable the Camera in Device Manager

1. Press Win + X and open Device Manager.
2. Click View → Show hidden devices.
3. Look under Cameras, Imaging devices, or Sound, video and game controllers. 
   • If you see the HP Wide Vision HD Camera greyed out, right-click → Enable device.

Step 2: Uninstall and Reinstall

• If enabling didn’t work: 
  1. Right-click the camera entry → Uninstall device.
  2. Click Action → Scan for hardware changes to force Windows to rediscover and reinstall it.

Step 3: Install Official Driver

1. Visit HP’s official support page for your model. Here's a good example: [HP Victus 15‑fa0000 driver page].
2. Scroll to the Driver – Camera or Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices section.
3. Download and install the HP Wide Vision HD Camera driver.
4. Restart your laptop.
5. Re-check Device Manager for the camera.

Step 4: Verify Windows Privacy Settings

1. Go to Settings → Privacy & security → Camera.
2. Turn Camera access and Allow apps to access your camera to On.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
