If nothing else helps, and you really need to use your camera, you can try reinstalling your Windows 10 operating system.

If you’re not sure how to reset your Windows 10, go to Settings>Update and Recovery>Recovery and go to Reset this PC option. That’s it, I hope these solutions helped you to solve the camera problem on your laptop. If you have any comments, questions and suggestions, please reach in the comment section, below.
