Hi John Rainier Repalda,

Thank you for providing the detailed information regarding the camera concern on your Huawei MateBook D15 (2021).

If the Cameras / Imaging Devices category does not appear in Device Manager, it may suggest that the webcam is not being detected at the OS driver level even though the hardware itself is present. This can occur following system updates when the originally bound USB Video Class (UVC) driver is no longer associated with the device automatically.

Please follow the checking steps below to manually bind the built‑in camera to the Microsoft inbox driver:

1, Show Hidden Devices

• Open Device Manager
• Select View > Show hidden devices
• Expand:
  • Universal Serial Bus devices
  • Other devices
• Look for:
  • Unknown USB Device
  • OV9734 Camera
  • USB Video Device
  • Any greyed‑out Imaging Device

2, Manually Install Driver (If Device is Listed)

• Right‑click the camera‑related device
• Select Update driver
• Choose Browse my computer for drivers > Let me pick from a list
• Uncheck Show compatible hardware
• Select:
  • Manufacturer: Microsoft
  • Device: USB Video Device
• Complete installation and restart your PC

3, Add Legacy Hardware (If Camera is Not Listed Anywhere)

• In Device Manager, click Action > Add legacy hardware
• Choose Install the hardware that I manually select
• Select Cameras / Imaging Devices
• Click Have Disk
• Enter: C:\Windows\INF\usbvideo.inf
• Select USB Video Device and finish installation
• Restart your PC

4, If Camera still does not appear:

• Go to Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation
• Temporarily turn Memory Integrity OFF
• Restart the device and test the camera again
• Once completed, the camera should reappear under Device Manager > Cameras > USB Video Device

I hope this workaround helps restore camera functionality on your device.

Install a working driver manually

Look for Sunplus / Realtek / USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam

Install generic UVC driver
