Error code 0xA00F4271<MediaCaptureFailedEvent> (0x80004005).

I've run trough the Get Help App on my device but after following all the steps camera is still not running.

Any help?

    I am experiencing the same issue since today. All cameras don't work, front, back and IR so Windows Hello is actually not working too.

    I also have the same issue. I even reset the device to factory settings and once it updates, it stops working
