Hi,
Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue.
- After installing Windows 10 Technical Preview, did you update all the device drivers?
- What is the error message you get while trying to use the webcam?
This issue might occur due to incompatible or outdated drivers and missing updates. Sorry to know that you are facing this issue.
You may try to update the driver from Device Manager and check if this helps.
Further, if there no updated drivers available on the computer manufacturer’s website, then trying installing it in Windows 7 or Windows 8 compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.
Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.
a. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
b. Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
c. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 7 or 8 Operating System from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.
