Studio Effects Not Showing in Windows 11 Pro

Hi,

I recently resolved an issue where Windows Studio Effects were not appearing in the quick settings panel or camera settings on my Windows 11 device, despite having a compatible NPU and the Studio Effects driver installed.

My system:

• Device: Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10
• OS: Windows 11 Pro (Build 26100)
• Camera Vendor: SunplusIT (USB\VID_30C9&PID_00F8)
• NPU: AMD Ryzen AI

The problem was that the Studio Effects driver was installed, but not properly linked to the camera device. Using PowerShell, I checked the LowerFilters property of the camera and found only WdmCompanionFilter, with no mention of StudioEffectsFilter.

After trying multiple approaches, I resolved the issue by installing a Sunplus camera driver that includes Studio Effects support, using a batch script to automate the installation. The driver was extracted from a .cab package provided by Lenovo (originally for a Yoga Pro model), which contained:

Sunplus_2.0.18.7

Microsoft_2.0.11.0 (Studio Effects)

The batch script installed the correct .inf file and registered the driver properly. After installation:

The camera was correctly recognized

StudioEffectsFilter appeared in the LowerFilters

The Studio Effects UI appeared under Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Camera

• Effects like background blur, eye contact, and automatic framing are now working system-wideAfter trying multiple approaches, I resolved the issue by installing a Sunplus camera driver that includes Studio Effects support, using a batch script to automate the installation.

Hi,

My version is 24H2 (OS Build 26100.5074).

Windows Studio Effects is not installed on my system.

I tried running the code in PowerShell, but it doesn't seem to work.

How can I install Windows Studio Effects?

I´ve the same problem, can you help me? please...

Open PowerShell and run this command. (let me know if this is the one that you did)

Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "Studio"}

• If you see something like: Microsoft.WindowsStudioEffects~~~~0.0.1.0 Not Present
• it means the package exists but isn’t installed.

If it shows Not Present, run:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Microsoft.WindowsStudioEffects~~~~0.0.1.0

Wait for it to download and install, then restart your PC.

Hi!

I need help to verify what Windows11 version you have on the device.(Press Win + R → type winver.)

Can you also validate if it is installed by going to:

Settings → Apps > Installed Apps → search for Windows Studio Effects.

If missing, you need to open PowerShell and run the code:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online | findstr Studio

Let me know what will show after you run the command.
