How to Fix the Missing Camera Issue on Your Laptop

So here I have installed a new copy of Windows to this laptop and what I see when I try to open the camera it’s a notification saying we can’t find your camera check to be sure it’s connected and installed properly it isn’t being blocked by antivirus software and all that so there are two possible reasons for this.

First it could be a hardware problem and it could also be a software problem. It could be that the actual camera Hardware component is faulty and so can be recognized by the laptop it could also be as a result of software which in this case are the drivers for the camera.

So if you are having this problem whatsoever it’s good to first try this solution to be sure that it’s not a software problem because the solution in this video is fixing software problem that’s driver error but then if it’s a hardware problem then you might need to change your camera.
