Recently, my laptop's integrated camera stopped working. I checked the device manager and found that the camera was now named Integrated_Webcam_HD and recognised as a USB Video device. When I try to use my camera now my screen shows black where it should be showing me what the camera sees and when I try to use the camera app it gives me the error code 0xA00F4292 <PhotoCaptureStartTimeout>.

    Is there a way to fix this? (preferably without having to reset the whole computer.)

    I appreciate you taking the time to reply and give suggestions, I suspect the first one that you gave would have worked but unfortunately, the computer couldn't find any previously installed drivers. So I may have to download the updated driver, my model is an Inspiron-13 and the Manufacturer is Dell.

    Thank you for the well wishes.

    Sincerely,

    Daniel
