The specific monitor I have, from what I understand, has a camera in the top of the monitor. Would a clean install of Windows 10 fix the issue?
Camera Not Activated?

I was trying to take a picture of something with the camera app on Windows 10 the other day, and I got this message.
As far as I can tell, my monitor has a built-in camera. My monitor is an Acer V206HQL.

I checked the specifications for the Acer V206HQL monitor, I do not see that indicated as having a built-in webcam.
Is this your monitor model, if it is, there is no built-in webcam?
