Hallo Trolldich, ein Leidensgenosse, das tröstet mich! Ich habe das Problem noch nicht lösen können. Ich habe ja eine neue USB-Kamera gekauft, falls es ein Wackelkontakt im Kabel ist, und wenn das nicht Abhilfe schafft, dann will ich es mit einem anderen Betriebssystem probieren. Ich habe das nur aus dem Grunde noch nicht…

Hallo Cyriix, danke! Ich habe mir das Kabel besorgt! Am Wochenende setze ich mich dran und gebe danach dann mal Rückmeldung. Viele Grüße!

Thank you @JackE and @Easwar ! The replacement cable came today, and I think I will proceed in this order:1) replace cable/reseat contacts to clean them, see if that fixes the issue;2) reset the laptop in the way Easwar suggested.It might take until the next weekend that I find the time for both. And then I'll let you know…

Thank you so much! That is just what I was looking for exactly! I guess I wasn't searching for the correct terminology so I got all sorts of mismatches for results. ll get one, just to be on the safe side. Absolutely!

Ok, thanks, great! I'll do that and let you know if it helped! I was wondering if I should get a new cable for the camera, just in case and while I'm at it, but the teeny tiny cable for this old OEM webcam doesn't seem that readily to find.

It's not under warranty anymore, unfortunately. But I don't mind a bit of hassle! It's just that the part where the cables go into the mainboard is thoroughly hidden under tape. Should I repurchase new tape before I peel the old one off, so that I can reapply it after I've dealt with the cables? Thank you for your help so…

I just clicked on "show hidden devices" and get the view on the left, and then, a few minutes later, the view on the right. As if it is changing randomly while I'm not even doing much on the laptop, not using the camera, not restarting. All I do is having the web browser open, the screenshot app, little stuff like that.

Oh, that's a misunderstanding! With normal I just meant, no error/caution signs. I opened the folders intentionally to take the screenshots for here. I've been pondering over the device manager so often since my camera issues started. It seems to switch between these two randomly:Either it lists the camera…

I tried a second time, just for good measure. This time the device manager looks just like after my first attempt, camera ist listed as webcam, no warning signs. When I open the camera app, this time it informs me "no camera found"

JackE said: yup, I did! It is now basically back to my "old" problem. I don't know for what weird coincidence it lost the camera today, on top of the old problem. Normally, when I check the device manager, it looks like on this last screenshot of mine, after the reset. That is why I was (erroneously) so certain that there…
-
Thank you so much so far already! I unchecked "fast startup", and after restart, at least the camera was there again, but it has the old issue: The screen is black, and in the upper left corner, it blinks: "Camera on" - "Camera off" - etc. etc. I also noticed, by looking at the screenshot now, that it keeps automatically…

Oops now I see it! It says "Unknown device. Error when resetting the port." Port_#0007.Hub_#0003 "The device was stopped because it reported errors"
-
Oh that explains a lot! I do not see any warnings in the device manager.Oddly, I don't see "Webcam" anymore either, it was right there under "K" (Kamera in German spelling) earlier today.
