When I load the windows camera app, i receive the error message, something went wrong, if you need it, heres the error code 0xA00F4271 media capture failed event 0x800706BE. i tried resetting the camera app, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. i run sfc scan and found corrupted files and repaired them. all windows updates are up to date. camera settings are fine and the camera is set to allow connections. Has anyone come across this error before?

    Hello,

    Try re-registering Camera app. Perform these steps:

    1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.
    2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    3. Then type following command and press Enter key: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsCamera | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Let the command complete.

    Close Windows PowerShell and check Camera app, it should work fine now.

    Let us know if this helps!

    Hi,
    1.Did issue disappear after you running SFC scan? Have you tried "Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth" command in powershell?

    2.Was the camera stuck issue occurred at any time you opened your laptop or it only occurred in specific time like resuming from sleep mode and so on?

    3.Have you tried the resolution like simply close and reopen the camera app?


    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.

    Thanks,
    Jenny
