My Lenovo device and OS information is the following:

On 2/7/2021 I updated my easycam drive and windows 10 update using Windows Update Setting utility that comes with my Windows 10 operating system.

After this update, my camera stops working (I tested it using camera application and zoom application). I keep on seeing the following whenever I try to use the camera:

I follow some instructions in microsoft board (by googling) that tells me to uninstall device and reboot and relogin such that the driver will be reinstalled. After reinstall, it looks like a different driver version is installed. This new driver does not seem to fix the problem. The driver version circled in yellow is the version that is installed manually after uninstalling device (camera) and reboot.

    Glad to hear this issue has been solved. Thanks for sharing:
    "I finally find out that for the laptop Lenovo ideapad 81VS, there is a function button f6 that would disable camera. It was accidentally toggled off and therefore no camera is displayed. "
    Hope your experience will help other community members facing similar problems.
