I went to C:\SWSetup\SP85691\Realtek and ran setup.exe, which seemed to install it, and I rebooted. The driver unpacks to C:\SWSetup, which leaves a bunch of folders and subfolders and no instructions (unlike what the driver website says, which is follow the onscreen instructions).
I downloaded HP Universal Camera Driver for my laptop model from: I don't think that's required though is it? I think that's one of the many default apps Windows installs that either I or my work tech support removed, as they did remove several of them through pushed updates not long after we got these laptops. I have no camera app under Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Camera. Settings > Privacy > Camera > 'Let apps use my camera' is checked. I clicked action>scan for hardware changes, but it didn't work. Then also as suggested, I removed the device (and driver) from device manager, and rebooted, but Windows didn't reinstall the cam and now it's gone. But the cam still wouldn't work.Īs suggested by online guides, I tried clicking roll back driver, but after asking if I really want to, and clicking yes, it wouldn't do anything. Then under View, I checked show hidden devices and Imaging devices appeared, with my cam in it.
Under device manager, I had no 'Imaging devices' listing, and no cam under 'Sound, video and game controllers'. One day my integrated webcam worked, the next day it didn't and hasn't since.
