Large Windows 10 update evaporated my built-in webcam drivers.  No camera recognized during sign-in, Skype, etc. Envy M7 notebook. Nothing under imaging devices.  How can i tell which camer is installed internally and download the drivers again?

Aplogies for the delay in getting back, but have been travelling on business quite often lately.

 

I hadn't had time to try the addition fixes suggested on the forum, but I guess Christmas does come twice a year after all!

 

Just had an additional automatic windows update the other day and then turned off the laptop to leave town for a few days.  Just turned it on again today and the crazy camera started working again with the facial recognition sign-in.

 

Checked Device Manager and now the following are listed now where there was nothing but my printer (8610):

Intel Real Sense Camera SR300 Depth

Intel Real Sense Camera SR300 Virtual Driver

 

Just showed up again.

 

Go figure.

 

Thanks again.

I did go there, but wasn't sure which camera I had, nor actually found a download link/button to try.  Won't do any good to download a driver that isn't right.

 

Model/Product #: W2K86AU#ABA

Envy M7 Notebook.

Built-In Camera.

I ran the (sp81543.exe) firmware update.  Still nothing but the following shows up under imaging devices but my HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. Nothing related to a camera.
