How to fix the camera if it doesn't work in windows 10

This problem usually occurs in those laptops with integrated webcam, suddenly the webcam does not work when we upgrade the computer to Windows 10 Anniversary. It is possible that when the installation was carried out, certain options have been modified that prevent applications from accessing the webcam.

We will try to solve this problem with two possible solutions that we detail below.

1 - Give full control to the Camera Album folder in Windows 10

The Camera Album is a directory that is inside the Images folder, the problem can occur when you lose access to it.

• We open the File Explorer and go to Images In the Images folder, right click on the Camera Album folder and select Properties Go to the Security tab Create a new user, which appears under the names of groups or users: Click Edit permissions and verification Full control We click OK

2 - Change the privacy settings for the camera app

Another possibility is that the applications or the application that you are using for the camera do not have the permissions in the options of Windows 10, we are going to solve this:

• We go to the Start Menu and open Settings Go to Privacy Go to Camera and allow all applications to use the camera, if it is not enabled

There is a third possibility and they are the outdated drivers and you have to update these, but this is a solution that you will surely have already tried before reaching this tutorial, so we did something redundant.

I hope it has been useful to solve your problems with the camera in Windows and see you next time.
