    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    It is necessary to investigate to understand the reason for this behavior.

    To be able to assist you better, please clarify the following:

    1 = What is the camera's manufacturer and model?

    2 = Please check if there is any message or error code displayed in Device Manager:

    1. Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
    2. Expand Cameras. (If "Cameras" is not listed, check under Other devices or Universal Serial Bus controllers for any item with a yellow warning triangle).
    3. If the camera or an unknown device is listed, right-click it and select Properties. Check the status message in Device Status.

    Quick test: Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Camera and make sure "Camera access" and "Let apps access your camera" are both turned On.

    If you prefer, feel free to share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    Looking forward to your reply.
