Webcam Not Working

[Bashar_abdo]

Dear Support, 

My laptop's webcam isn't working at all. See attached a description of the error. I tried to update the driver and also installed the Cyberlink Youcam; however, results were negative.

Kindly help me fix this issue, it's urgent.

@Bashar_abdo Greetings from the HP Community!

If your webcam has stopped working after installing a new update or as you've mentioned, it stopped working suddenly, 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, 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.
