Usually my camera works for a couple seconds after restarting the computer, then lines start to appear and it cuts out. Last time it worked was when I last restarted my computer around 2 days ago.
How do I fix camera cannot be found?

When I try to use my camera it says that it cannot be found. I have tried about everything with the accessibility and the drivers, even using the command prompt. Also I have contacted support and it briefly worked and immediately stopped working after I left. My camera has no hardware issues because shortly after I restart my computer it will be functional but seconds later it will show the message camera cannot be found. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad5 on Windows 11, please help me.
