my camera is not working after updating to windows 11 and showing this, even the camera switch button shows the camera is not on (there should be a light on the button if the camera is on), what should i do?

Click on the start menu and type msinfo32
Open System Information

Take a screenshot and upload it here, this will help find the camera driver for your system model.

Also click on start menu and type Device Manager
Click View menu > Show Hidden Devices
Expand cameras > Right click on your camera device and uninstall
Restart your laptop and see if the problem still persists.
