Not sure if it's related but the internal mic also stopped working a few months ago, and I've been using a USB headset mic instead. Realtek (in device manager, my driver page said Realtek) SP85691 (this is also the name of the original file I downloaded, so not sure why the other two folders are there) But I still don't have the cam in devmgr.įYI, other choices the downloaded file unpacked were:

I went to C:\SWSetup\SP85691\Realtek and ran setup.exe, which seemed to install it, and I rebooted. But why does HP suggest to update a driver for a device non phisically present. But obviously, if I do not have phisically an IR camera, the driver installation will fail. 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 hane NO issue with the IR camera, the only issue is that HP support assistant proposed me to update the driver for IR Camera, and the update fails. 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".
