Integrated Camera Not Working After Update
Did a Windows Update kill your laptop camera? This is a common regression in newer Windows 11 builds. Againly can inspect the relevant local evidence and propose a fix plan for review.
Why this happens
Windows Update often replaces your manufacturer's specialized camera driver with a generic Microsoft version that lacks critical "Face Authentication" or "Image Signal Processor" (ISP) support.
Fix it manually
- Roll Back Driver: In Device Manager, right-click your camera > Properties > Driver tab > click Roll Back.
- Uninstall KB Update: Go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates, and remove the most recent "Quality Update."
- Reinstall Manufacturer Drivers: Download the specific driver from Dell, HP, or Lenovo support sites.
