Fix: We can’t find your camera 0xA00F4244 error on Windows 10 

Laptop users may try pressing FN key + F6 or FN + F8 shortcut which basically turns webcam on.

I pressed my FN key + F6 and it fixed it literally tried everything and this worked. Thanks for all the nice comments 3 years later and I still come back to read some!

Very bad video, my driver got uninstalled and now it is not installing again. Very much disappointed.

None of these works ,in a week's time i am having an online exam of which camera is compulsory 😪😪😪

Lol i was just wasting my time HAHAHA. I just I realized that there is no camera on my laptop😂

What do you do if your Device Manager does not have the "Camera" listed?

Need help! for the 3rd method I can't find "camera" and I even looked in "display" and "show hidden devices" how I can do it I did all the other methods without success!

my windows didnt reinstall the camera driver, what now, i cant find it even after restarting

i cant locate my camera driver in driver settings i cant even uninstall it

I didn't fix yet my camera using this method my camera is bill-in into my laptop I follow this procedure but no changes, in the Device manager I did not seen the camera I don't know what happen in my laptop.

None of this helped my problem. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much you saved my life in this quarantine.... I have exams for which the teacher needs my webcam on during the exam time.. have been using my phone and facing problems you solved it .... great work thank you once again

2:11 for this method, if the "camera" option isnt in your list, click "View" and then click "Show hidden devices". You're welcome!!!

the thing is i uninstalled the camera driver then it never installed again wtf

2:45 Windows did not reinstall anything and now I have a bigger problem that I have to deal with. None of these steps have worked so far 🙄

Dosen´t Work !

thanks for the video. I tried the frist two method, didnt work, and the 3rd, I can 't find the camera in device manager. I tried to google this issue still cant find. If anyone can tell me how to fix this, it would be much appreciated

Many thanks for the instructions on how to fix this - the FN key + F4 (for my laptop - MSI GE 76 Raider) absolutely did the trick. Was a very frustrating hour or so until I came across this video. Thank you again! :-)

Thanks bro! FOR SAVING MY MONEY, IT'S WORKS........

For step 3: After uninstalling the camera driver, it did not reinstall

Tried to follow this steps by steps but for some reason I can't find the camera in the device manager. :( How? Please help... Need the laptop for online schooling

In step 3, when i went to the device manager, there was no camera option in my laptop..so what can i do now?

After uninstalling, the driver did not re-install

I don't have 'camera' in devices part. What am I supposed to do? anybody can help?

None of this worked for me. First of all i couldnt see the camera under the device manager, it didnt show up even after i pressed "scan for hardware changes" or "show hidden devices". then suddenly today it showed up,i watched this video and uninstalled it and now its completely gone, cant find it anywhere. checked in the device manager and in the "show hidden devices". I HAVE LITERALLY TRIED EVERYTHING IT DOESNT WORK. i updated drivers from my laptop manufacturers page, uninstalled the updates... SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE

For some reason I don't have the camera driver. Tried installing it, but I can't.

It doesnt appear at devices manager and it has 0xa00f4244 nocamerasareattached error. What can I do? Please

When I uninstalled it, windows didn't solved the problem automatically. Thanks for the video, but nothing helped.

when i scan for hardware changes on device manager the driver still wont show up

For step 3, when i go into my device settings, camera isnt even there. Could this be why im seeing the error message to begin with?

This did not work but when i changed the BIOS settings it worked. Go to the diagnostics and check on the integrated camera and save then exit

I dont understand this... My Microsoft Lifecam studio have been working 100% before.. After installing windows 10, doesn't matter what i do it doesn't work... i have tried ALL the soulutions on youtube and google but nothing works.. keeps freezing and turns off. the camera app keeps saying the same error, as in the video..

Did you check the Camera On/Off button located on the right side of the computer? Its very small and hard to see, but can easily get turned off which would remove the Camera from the Device Manager. No matter what you do it won't show up unless its on. Trust me!

Thanks Sandip, the installing and re-installing the programme worked for me.. this was chaotic tried few other things but didn't work..Thanks a ton..

I uninstall camera and after I click scan option and the window won't reinstall the camera whatsoever

Not helped, still same error 0xA00F4244, but camera worked before and works still in skype and facebook video calls.

Hi, can you help me? I cant seem to reinstalled the camera drive as I don't see it on my device manager. Please help

I CAN'T MAKE THIS I DON'T SEE CAMERA ON DEVICE MANAGER AND I HAVE A CAMERA ON MY PC!!!

The FN key + F6 worked for me after trying many different things, over a few hours, that did not work. As soon as I pressed FN key + F6, the light activated on the camera. And now "Camera" shows up on the Device Manager's List....Thanks

NONE OF THESE WORKED FOR ME 😭😭

For some reason i have this camera problem that it always disconnects everytime when im about to use it idk if my camera is the problem or there is something im missing here

After doing everything, its still cant find the camera, and in device manager not availeble imagin device or camera , please Help

after uninstalling it, it did not came back :( i also tried resetting my laptop.

In my case the FN key + F10 did the trick! Thanks Jonathan R.

It doesn't work for me. HELP !

Thank you! already fixed when using method 3!~

thank you for method 3... My camera is now uninstalled and windows didn't reinstall it. If anything it's now unfixable 🤩

Thanks so much; none of the microsoft or Lenovo tools helped! Fn + camera key was the ticket !

i deleted the drivers but when i click scan for hardrive changes it doesnt come back

This Fixed mine, none of the above fixed it and I tried everything from microsoft and the camera maker and even my tablet maker but this did....I had to reinstall the drivers from Asus for my previous version of Windows which was 8.1 NOT WINDOWS 10 camera drivers! (those don;t work). Even Asus didn't mention doing this. They're idiots. That's my tablet maker and I run Windows. The package I downloaded was listed under Chipset and it was the full package that included SOC Driver package AND (VGA and camera drivers included) Intel Official Driver updates. The other package only had the SOC package. Mine didn't Run automatically but when I unzipped it, I just clicked on Application. Camera works fine now. Good luck everyone.

None of these did anything, mostly because the options you tell me to follow don't exist. Same OS. Half the shit shown in your screencap don't appear for me in any capacity.

Thank you ! Third method worked for me :) I saw few people telling it didn't work for them. 1. Make sure you have windows 10 2. If no camera option then it will be "imaging devices"- 3rd method

Thanks bro for telling it works😁

i did not find the cameras icon in the device manager,,, what to do??

If you have Blocked Recording mode ON, turn it off. Use FN and F11 to do that, or, if you pressed FN and FN Lock, to keep the FN feature off, just press F11. I tried these methods and it didn't work, all because the dang F11 feature was on :']

there is no camera option in devices manager

At 2:22 I don't have camera option

Thank you, I used method 3 as well. "Camera" didn't appear in the list of devices, so I had to tick "show hidden objects" from the View menu tab. Then I disinstalled, searched for the driver. It didn't work immediately but I had to restart the laptop. It feels like a miracle, because (I must be dumb) searched for days for a solution and tried other methods. Thanks again!

okay so i never had the camera driver. how can i get it

I tried all of these things and nothing worked. I then discovered that there is a toggle switch to turn my camera on and off!

hello there I have a used pc and in device settings I do not have the camera icon or the USB video device I also don't use an USB I have the camera build in the pc please help

ok, tried all of that before watching the vid. My issue is device manager also doesn't even show the built-in camera from my laptop at all since the stupid update -- which I tried rolling back, but damage already done.

i cant find camera at drvice manager

You're a legend. Method 4 fixed it. Thank you! 😘

Method 3 actually deleted the USB camera from my device entirely and it has not reinstalled. This really blows.

can you help me,im uninstall camera and,and scan for hardware changes,now I cant find it pls help

gak mau juga bang

LOVE THIS worked at step 3 thank you so much

I tried but still not working my camera

For the ones still having this issue: FN + F6 (on the keyboard) should fix it. Nothing else works anymore after windows updated their system a year ago.

Jesus Christ died for our sins

Thank you so much. it took me an hour before i found this video. Big ups my man

Thanks bro it really really works. Lot of love from Delhi😘😘

Amazing, thanks so much! I continued getting the code after trying several methods and watching 20 youtube videos. The 3rd method on this vid fixed my camera. You completely uninstall the camera (not under imaging devices), under "camera"... and when you scan for hardware changes, it will reinstall automatically and be fixed. Thanks so much!

Manooo!!! Sou Brasileiro! E entrei no seu vídeo, fui acompanhando tudo passo a passo, Mano obrigado funcionouuuu!!!!!!!

I spent over an hour doing all the steps and nothing worked.... If you have an HP Lenova, maybe other brands as well but not sure, there is a small camera switch on the right side of the keyboard!! Turn this on and you wont have any problems! It is super small and easily missed. Hope this helps alleviate some headaches

I can't see my camera in the device manager

laptop repair camera need

F8 worked for me and Fn , lost camera on zoom now works talk about stress!

Thanks!!!! Saved me a 30 minute call with HP and 45 minute call with MS

Not still working.... In device manager, camera option is also not available :(

I deinstalled it now i cant reinstall it thanks dude you gave me a bigger problem Edit: ITS FN + F6 WOW THANK YOU

just type = Fn(function key in the keyboard) key + F6/F7

If all fails - shut down laptop, when shut down - press power button once, when you see loading screen (Dell, HP icon) - press down power button until laptop goes off (normally 8-10 seconds) - then once off press power button once to start-up - this fixed it for me. - Possible driver/hibernate/sleep/proper power off issue. I tell my guys to do this monthly. HAVE YOU TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN - PROPERLY? :)

I know public domain music is free, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be utterly annoying!!!Q!!!!!!
