Camera not working HP Pavillion x2, no kill switch, not showing in device manager, error 0xA00F4244

[lb_91]

Camera not working - says cant find camera, camera not showing in device manager, only thing showing under imaging devices is Intel(R) AV Stream Camera - however this is not working either. Checked drivers and all up to date and device status says device is working. updated device drivers and restarted PC - done troubleshooting with Microsoft in relation to camera app. Checked privacy settings for camera permissions. Can see a camera on front of device, no kill switch on device or on keyboard. Also completed troubleshooting with HP virtual agent and nothing so far has worked.

@lb_91 Ensure the privacy setting for your device are set as per your preference: click here & follow the steps, That said, If your webcam has stopped working after installing a new update, you should uninstall the update and roll back to the older version. You will have to open Device Manager > right-click on the device > select Properties > switch to Driver tab > click on Roll Back Driver button > select Yes on the next window. After that, you need to restart your PC to check whether it is working.

If that doesn't work or there were no updates before the issue occurred, you might need to uninstall the webcam driver.

To do this, open Device Manager > right-click on the device > select Properties > switch to Driver tab > click on Uninstall Device button.

Restart your computer and then open Device Manager again and click on Action > Scan for hardware changes. (this would automatically reinstall the best drivers for it)

Once done, I suggest you install all the latest pending Windows updates as below and check if it helps.

1. Go to “settings” and click on “update and security”.
2. Under tab “Windows update”, click on the icon “check for updates”.
3. Then once you find the pending updates install it and check.
