#Camera won't turn on
41 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
PC or laptop? if your camera has a switch to turn it off/on make sure its on
another thing is you might need to reinstall camera drivers
I've done that already
I've reinstalled it but still nothing
if you got another pc or something try plugging it in there to see if it works
got none 
Check if no other programs are using the camera and also go the Privacy settings a check the Camera Privacy settings
tried that, none of the programs are using the camera and all permissions for camera has camera permissions.
Can other apps access the Camera and work?
nope, all of them don't work
face id also dosen't work which irritates me alot
thought it was malware but microsoft offline scanner detected nothing
Have you checked if you have a physical camera switch on your laptop (I assume it is one) that is disabled
how may i check that?
What device do you have?
Surface Pro X
got no antiviruses other than the microsoft one
Check if there is a slider on your laptop or a key for the camera
(I could not find any info of one on a Surface Pro X)
nah they don't have anything other than 2 usb c ports
yeah
if nothing works out, might factory reset
theres no damage to the surface pro x too
it just randomly stopped working after i got on my laptop
👍 Have you gone to the BIOS and checked if the Front and Rear Camera are enabled in Devices
yep
It is probably a Windows 11 issue, I guess
But before doing this, I would get a Linux Live USB and test if your Cameras works on that
ill factory reset ig
