built-in webcam no longer detected after upgrading MSI laptop to Windows 11

model - MSI GS75 Stealth 95D

after upgrading to Windows 11, the built-in webcam is no longer working. It doesn't show up in the device manager. And If I open the camera app, it gives me the error code: 0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>

I would like to roll back to Windows 10 because I need my camera to work but the option of going back to a previous version is no longer available.

Can someone please suggest something that might get the camera back online?

Thanks so much.

    Hey I had this same problem. I figured out my laptop has a camera on and off button. for me it was f6 try clicking that then go to start menu type camera click the app that shows up and see if it comes on. that fixed my problem and I had every issue you did and tried all these fixes. Hope this helps.
