[SOLVED] Windows 10 Ann Update Webcam issue solution

[Calx]

Has anyone found a solution for the non working webcams after the Win 10 update?

I tried HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform, add DWORD “EnableFrameServerMode” and set to 0, you will then need to restart Skype.

That didn't work.

Have you tried changing "both" of these keys.
I see you mentioned the one above, but not the 2nd.

1. Open regedit from the Start menu.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform
3. Right click the Platform folder and select New > DWORD. Name it “EnableFrameServerMode”
4. Right-click the new value and select “Modify”
5. Enter “0" in the “Value data” field.
6. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform
7. Repeat steps 3-5.

Yes I did both, but it hasn't worked sadly.
I can't find anything else to try.
I feel a N&P coming

Sorted. It would seem that to get skype to work, need to change the driver to a generic USB camera one. Skype now works.

Hip hip hoorah!

Check your settings.
Better make sure Win 10 doesn't "Update" the driver.
Then back to square one!

Mine has failed 2x now with some updates gone wrong. Lucky me, I just unplugged it and plugged back in, drivers installed automatically.
