    Good Day Sidarthasharma,

    Please proceed with these steps.

    -Press Windows key + X

    -Go to Settings

    -Click Update and Security

    -Click Troubleshooter then Additional troubleshooter.

    -Look for Windows Store Apps and run the troubleshooter.

    -Press Windows key + X

    -Click Windows Powershell Admin

    -Copy and paste each of the commands below and hit Enter

    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsCamera*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

    If you are getting errors when you enter those commands , that is fine, restart your computer after and check the camera.

    You can also manually install the app using this link below.
