Please let me know if the above process helps. After restarting your computer, now plug in your LifeCams and see if they work normally.
#MICROSOFT LIFECAM DRIVERS WINDOWS 10 INSTALL#
If no updates are found, then restart your computer at this point, however, it's important to let updates found install even if they seem unrelated to this issue.ġ0. If updates are found please install them, and once the updates successfully install please restart your computer.ĩB. then selecting "Updates and Security", next select "Windows Update" and select "Check for Updates Now".ĩ. You can access Windows Update by selecting "Settings" in the Start Menu (that's the gear icon). Once restarted please update Windows by going to Windows Update and selecting "Check for Updates Now". If you've been able to find a Registry cleaning program, run it, if you have not, please restart your computer now.Ĩ. This process MIGHT working without running a Registry Cleaner but I feel it would help to improve the chances of success.ħ. Sadly, Microsoft doesn't provide such a tool and I can't post a link to one here, but there are several available via a Google search. The next step I suggest is to use a "Registry Cleaning" program to remove the former Driver's Data from the registry. Select the driver for the HD LifeCam (the name should include "LifeCam" in it but I'm not sure of the installed driver's exact name for that version), Right-click and select "Uninstall".Ħ. Microsoft driver update for Microsoft LifeCam Front, Windows 10 and later drivers,Windows 10 and later upgrade & servicing drivers, Drivers (Other Hardware). Go to “view” and select the option “show hidden devices” to reveal all the hidden and old drivers.ĥ. Press “Win + X” and select "Device Manager"Ĥ.
Type the following and press the Enter:ģ. Press “Win + X” and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the list of optionsĢ. Unplug both of the Lifecams from their USB ports, and leave them unplugged for now.ġ. Let's try a different route of uninstalling the existing driver, then running Windows update, then trying to reconnect the Webcam.
