Hi @MANI11221, thanks for posting. Error 0xA00F4244 (NoCamerasAreAttached) means Windows can't see the camera at all, usually because it's disabled or its driver is missing.

Check the physical camera privacy shutter/kill switch and the camera key on the keyboard (on many HP laptops, a key with a camera icon or F-key turns it off).
Settings > Privacy & security > Camera: turn on Camera access and "Let apps access your camera".
Device Manager > Cameras (or Imaging devices): if it's disabled, right-click > Enable; if missing, click Action > Scan for hardware changes.
Install the camera driver for your model from support.hp.com > Software and Drivers or HP Support Assistant, then restart.
If it still isn't detected, check it in BIOS (F10) and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (F2).

Please share your exact model/product number so we can send the direct driver link. Keep me posted!
