Camera does not work

mmbsharma_0-1612897392376.png

Hi I have purchased new Dell Inspiron 5502

Whenever I open my webcam and move the display to change the angle, I get error message saying 'We can't find your camera'

This is bothering me as I have purchased this laptop just 4 days back

Please support.

    Windows Key+i > Privacy > Camera > Make sure following
    Allow access to this camera on this device is set to ON
    Allow apps to access your camera is set to ON
    Also down below Choose apps that can use your camera is ON for appropriate apps

    Let's execute following steps for this problem if above doesn't solve your problem. Please update me once done.

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to invoke Task Manager > Go to the “Processes” tab > See which programs are currently running in the background of the system and If you found an app that uses Camera, end that program

    2. Switch Off your Antivirus temporarily and check. Switch On antivirus when testing is over.

    3. Windows Key+X > Device Manager > View tab > Show hidden devices
    Locate your Webcam
    Right click > Roll Back
    If Roll back doesn't work - Right click > Update Driver
    If above doesn't work, go to your computer manufacturer's website, download latest webcam driver and install

    Just return the unit as soon as possible for full refund, that will be much better instead of meddling a brand new latop which is barely a week old.
