    Resetting the Camera app

    1: Open the Settings app. Navigate to Apps > Apps & features.

    2: Look for the Camera app entry and click on the same to select it. You should now see Advanced options link.

    3: Click Advanced options link to open Storage usage and app reset page.

    4: Finally, click the Reset button. When you see the confirmation flyout, click the Reset button to reset the Camera app.

    Let me know if you could solve

    Hello ChristyTaylor1

    I'm peter F

    Please follow these steps

    Open the Store app, search for Windows Camera app and then install the same.

    If that didn't work

    Note : be careful with these steps

    Step 1: Run Windows PowerShell as administrator. To do so, right-click on the Start button on the taskbar and then click Windows PowerShell (Admin) option. Alternatively, type PowerShell in Start/taskbar search field, right-click on Windows PowerShell entry and then click Run as administrator option.

    Step 2: At the PowerShell window, copy and paste the following command. Press Enter key to execute the command.

    Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers

    Step 3: Now, look for Microsoft.WindowsCamera entry. Select the PackageFullName of Camera app and use Ctrl + C hotkey to copy it to the clipboard.

    Step 4: Execute the following command to uninstall the Camera app.

    Remove-AppxPackage PackageFullName

    In the above command, replace PackageFullName with the actual PackageFullName that you copied in the previous step.

    You may close the PowerShell window now.

    Finally, open the Store app, search for Windows Camera app and then install the same.

    I hope it helps
