Hi HP,
Sometimes, my webcam doesn't work properly.
In Device Manager, it shows USB Device Descriptor Request failed (most of the time). To resolve this, all I need to do is restart my PC (multiple restarts though)/disabling & re-enabling the device.
Is there any permanent solution to fix this? I tried several drivers but no luck.
I am using Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041.329)

@SaktisImpreza Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that the HP TrueVision HD Camera is not working.
The camera may stop responding during normal use. The following issues are exhibited:
-
Video preview stops responding (freezes) after recording video.
-
Skype video call stops responding (freezes).
-
Connecting and disconnecting the computer from the Internet causes camera to stop responding (freezes).
-
When the camera app is closed, the LED stays on and the camera app cannot be reopened.
These issues are caused by a problem with the AMD graphics driver frame buffer size. The camera does not respond when frame buffer size is full.
Please click the download the drivers. Install the drivers and check.
