I have an Acer V15-591G laptop. When I recently updated windows 10 my integrated webcam suddenly stopped working. I had used it often until this point. It displayed the “we can’t find your camera 0xA00F4244 error”.

When I went to device manager I had to view the camera by clicking “show hidden devices”. I don’t remember it ever being hidden but I guess I don’t
The camera was greyed out and gave me the code 45 hardware device is not connected.

So I did what I thought was logical and uninstalled it. After scanning for hardware changes and restarting the computer the camera is no longer in device manager. I figured Windows would install it again automatically.

I went to the acer website to download the integrated webcam driver and I cannot find one for this model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Before uninstalling I did check my privacy settings with the camera, for windows updates and driver updates but no luck.
