My camera will not pick up any images. I have two drivers under my camera and one under image device

[Madison18]

My camera will not pick up any images. I have updated to Windows ten and updated every single driver in my Device Manager.

The only issue I am facing is that I seem to have three separate drivers for my camera. I have two under my actual camera and one under imaging devices. I have tried enabling and disabling all three in different sequences but none seem to work to show an actual image on my computer in my camera or any other app that allows access to my webcam. The only thing that appears is a black screen as attached below. Any suggestions would be a great help as I do need the webcam for university courses Thank you!

@Madison18 I suggest you uninstall all the three drivers and restart the computer, if not done already, and check if it works, as the drivers would be automatically reinstalled when the device is restarted, once done, if the issue persists, 

here's a few steps to resolve the issue, start with checking for the webcam kill switch (if available on your model) and ensure its turned on,

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.
