Lenovo Integrated Camera Not Working with Windows 11

hello, we are two people having this computer and also that problem. we solved it easily : under w10 family x64bits, you shouldn t do anything, nor in windows or in the drivers section.

it happens that the camera has a thin scratched line part just under the bezel and above the camera. with your nail, push it smoothly to the right , then its light will become white if you have launched windows camera app, you should see something instantly!!

when you quit any app using the camera, the light will turn off, that s all !!

at least it worked for us

Hi NicoleF_ATL

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The webcam on that laptop has a privacy slider beside the webcam that may be closed, please check if the slider beside your webcam is closed.

Also, if that shutter was already open, on the function keys (F1 - F12) do any of those have a camera icon on them, and if so, if you press that key or Fn + that key, does that turn on your webcam?

The shutter was already open.

However, I was just able to fix it by uninstalling the last 2 Microsoft Windows updates. I reverted back to a few weeks ago when I know it was working fine.

For anyone else having this issue, go to Control Panel->programs -> programs and features -> Installed updated and look under the Microsoft Windows updates. Uninstall the updates to get back to a time it worked - for me, I had to uninstall 2 updates - by clicking in the update and selecting uninstall and restarting the computer.

I'll try this on my husband's laptop tonight and see if it fixed his camera issue as well.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have checked all the function keys and the shutter with no luck. I wish it was that easy 😀

Thanks. My F8 key had a camera icon. Probably I have accidentaly turned the camera off through this function key.
