Hi, just restore your system to last month before you installed the Windows update, type restore in the Search bar and click on "Create a restore point" and "System Restore" with a date:

When your camera isn't working in Windows 11, it might be missing drivers after a recent update. It's also possible that your antivirus program is blocking the camera, your privacy settings don't allow camera access for some apps, or there's a problem with the app you want to use.
Do these steps first before working through the possible solutions listed:

Check for updates. Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.

If there are no updates for your camera, try to select Advanced options > Optional updates, and look for any driver updates for your camera. Allow available updates to install, then restart your device when it's ready.

Restart your PC. If you haven't restarted your device since the camera stopped working, you should do so. Select Start > Power > Restart . Waking up your device from sleep isn't the same thing as a restart.

Test your camera with the Camera app. Select Start , then choose Camera from your apps. If you're asked to allow access to the Camera, select Yes. If the camera works in the Camera app, the problem might be with the app you're trying to use.

Give your apps permission
If you recently updated Windows 11, you might need to give apps permission to use the camera. In newer versions of Windows 11, some apps won't have default access to the camera.

Here's how to let your apps access the camera:

Select Start > Settings > Privacy & security > Camera .

Allow access to the camera on this device

Make sure Camera access is turned on.

Note: If camera access for the device is turned off and greyed out, you'll need an administrator on the device to turn on camera access for you.

Make sure Let apps access your camera is turned on.

Choose which apps should have access. Only apps that were installed from the Microsoft Store will appear in this list.

If you're having problems with an app that you did not install from Microsoft Store, make sure that Let desktop apps access your camera is turned on. You can't turn off camera access for individual desktop apps. Internet browsers, like Microsoft Edge, and many video conferencing apps, like Microsoft Teams, are desktop apps that require this setting to be turned on.

Check your antivirus software
In your antivirus software settings, look for settings that block access to your camera or permission to use your camera.

Uninstall your camera driver and scan for hardware changes
In Device Manager, right-click (or press and hold) on your camera, and then select Properties.

Select the Driver tab, then select Uninstall Device. Select the check box for Attempt to remove the driver for this device, then select OK.

In Device Manager, on the Action menu, select Scan for hardware changes.

Wait for it to scan and reinstall updated drivers, restart your PC, and then try opening the Camera app again.
