Hi @sirAli,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your camera driver is missing and you cannot find it on the HP website, you can try the following steps to locate and install the correct driver.
Update the Driver via Device Manager
- Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
- Expand the Cameras or Imaging devices section.
- Right-click on your camera (even if it's hidden) and select Update driver.
- Choose Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows will attempt to find and install the latest driver.
Use Windows Update
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
- Click Check for updates. If there are any driver updates available, they will be downloaded and installed automatically.
Download from HP Support Website
- Visit the HP Support website.
- Enter your laptop model in the search bar and select it from the list.
- Navigate to the Drivers & Software section.
- Look for the camera driver under categories like "Driver - Camera," "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices," or similar.
- Download and install the driver manually.
Use HP Support Assistant
- Install and open HP Support Assistant.
- This tool can automatically detect your device and find the necessary drivers and updates for you.
- You can download HP Support Assistant from the HP website if it's not already installed.
Use Generic Driver
- If you can't find the specific driver, you can try using a generic driver:
- Right-click on the hidden camera in Device Manager.
- Select Update driver > Browse my computer for drivers > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
- Select a generic driver from the list (e.g., "USB Video Device") and install it.
Uninstall and Reinstall the Device
- In Device Manager, right-click on the hidden camera device and select Uninstall device.
- Restart your computer. Windows may automatically reinstall the camera driver after rebooting.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.

Hi,
i tried but not work your solutions
Why can't I download and reinstall the camera driver manually? Why can't it be reinstalled? I deleted the driver from the device manager, but it doesn't come anymore, or when it comes, it hides itself.
