XPS 9315 - Integrated camera not working, help appreciated.

I recently did a windows update and since ive noticed the integrated camera doesnt work, it doesnt appear as a device in the apps like teams, camera etc. 

Details in device manager:

Camera Sensor OV01a (flagged)

This device is currently waiting on another device or set of devices to start. (Code 51)

Dependencies:
ACPI\INTC1095\5&1d3aa91a&0
ACPI\INTC1097\0

Intel(R) Visual Sensing Controller Device

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

I have tried rebooting, checking bios that its activated, tried new drivers it worked for a few mins then same thing have also tried earlier BIOS. 

Also, i have noticed that the camera works with Windows Hello face recognition

Appreciated your input in how to rectify

    Hi everyone,

    If your Dell XPS 9315 integrated camera isn’t working or shows errors like Code 43 or Code 51 in Device Manager, the issue is often related to BIOS settings or driver installation order. Follow the steps below to resolve the problem before considering hardware replacement.

    1. Check BIOS Settings:

      • Restart and press F2.
      • Go to Integrated Devices → Ensure Enable Camera is checked.

    2. Install Drivers in This Order:

        1. Intel Graphics or Arc Graphics Driver
        2. Intel Integrated Sensor Solution Driver (related to Intel Visual Sensing Controller / User Presence Detection)
        3. Intel Serial I/O Driver
        4. Intel 2D Imaging / MCU / Visual Sensing Controller Driver
        5. Intel Management Engine Components Installer
        6. Update BIOS to the latest version

    3. Driver Installation Notes:

      • Each driver may take 1–2 minutes to install, and no wizard may appear—wait for confirmation.
      • Reboot after completing all installations.
      • If the issue persists, uninstall incorrect drivers (especially under Camera and System Devices in Device Manager) before reinstalling.

    4. If the Issue Persists

      If none of the above steps resolve the issue
      , the problem may be hardware-related. In some cases, users have reported that replacing the LCD assembly (which includes the integrated camera) resolved the issue.

    What's so absurdly suspicious is that the final solution, according to Dell, is a hardware issue, when all other options have failed. How is it that the camera is physically failing on so many Dell devices then? It still reeks of a Dell scam. And here we are: abandoned and willing to pay.

    It's maddening.  Where is real help?  There should be a recall based on how many people are having this kind of problem.

    @mhmiller48​ 

    It's shameful. The only solution? I already have one; I'm looking at one of the new Apple Air laptops. I hope that people thinking of buying a Dell will do a Google search and find out about this whole problem.

    I've tried countless updates and downloading new drivers from the Dell website. Nothing solves the problem. I've followed endless lists of commands to fix it. NOTHING.
    Dell's response: NOTHING. No more DELL.

    Dell's solution in this post is that you end up sending the computer to their service center: money!

    Similar issue was affected those with XPS 13 plus 9320 after Microsoft updates.  See if their resolution can offer remedy to your issue.  Review this thread https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/xps/xps-13-plus-9320-webcam-not-working/65319b8b3a8e0b64ea481535

    Same issue here with my XPS 9315.
    the built-in camera does NOT work after the latest Bios update.
    Worst, it makes Windows Hello crash (blue screen) , so every single time now I have to reboot my computer and input manually passwords. 
    the fix for the 9320 does NOT fix the issue on the 9315 - how come this issue isn't fixed yet ? been going for a month now here .. (Dell, please wake up)

    Same issue here. Have you found any solution already? I have tried every means, including reinstall windows 11 and update to the latest driver. Not working at all. The hardware scanning has indicated that my camera sensor and the driver are having issue, but don't know how to fix that. Please lmk if you find anything that works out for your computer.
