Integrated webcam not working after waking us from sleep
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5559 signature edition and whenever my computer wakes up from sleep mode my camera won't work. The webcam will work after a reboot, but I don't want to constantly be rebooting it. It is running windows 10 home version 2004.
Thanks for the help

@Dreynolds5
Most webcams are USB devices which means if you are running on battery, Windows 10 will put USB devices to sleep to save on battery life; this is the default.

I'm always plugged in while using my webcam. I did a little bit more research and found out that it is caused by a windows update a few years back and that there isn't a real solution, Thanks for your help
