Camera stops working after Windows Update AGAIN!

Question

Anyone else have this happen- my camera stopped working after a Windows update, then there was an update to fix that and it worked until this most recent Windows software update now my

Answer 1

I am having the same issue. I've checked the privacy settings, firewall, anti-virus, updated to the newest version of Zoom, and updated the camera driver - this worked once for a few minutes when I tested it out in Zoom, but upon closing and re-opening Zoom, I'm back to square one.

Answer 2

For over a year now I have had issues with Windows updates and the built in camrea not working after the update. I would not mind so much but I have a mircrosoft Studio 2 device and it keeps happening.

Update camrea does not work after rebooting. Next update problem fixed, that is until the next update.

Why can't Microsoft fix this issue once and for all and at leaset do more testing on there updates before releasing them.

I guess I will now have to wait for them to release the next update to fix the camrea drivers not being loaded on bootup and being able to logon using face ID.

I do not think this depends on the device but more a Windows update problem as I have a Microsoft Studio 2 device, and the issue has been around for quite some time now.
