Hi Muhammad Haseeb,

Thanks for your post. I understand that you're facing the error “We can’t find your camera” with code 0xA00F4244. Please try the following.

1, Check BIOS / Firmware camera setting

• Restart the PC
• Enter BIOS (usually F10 on HP at startup)
• Look for “Integrated Camera”, “Privacy Camera”, or “I/O Device Security”
• Ensure the camera is Enabled

Note: Changing BIOS settings affects system behavior, only proceed if you’re comfortable.

2, HP OEM diagnostics (hardware‑level test)

HP provides built‑in diagnostics that work outside Windows, which Microsoft tools cannot replace. This helps confirm whether the webcam is physically detected. For reference: https://support.hp.com/us-en/help/hp-pc-hardware-diagnostics

If the camera fails BIOS or HP diagnostics, please contact HP Support for repair or service.
