Rolling back drivers of the camera

Perform the steps listed ahead.

1. Go to the taskbar and right click Windows button
2. Click Device Manager in the menu that appears on the screen
3. There will be many devices listed in the Device Manager box. You need to select and expand Imaging Devices (by clicking the “>” sign against it). Sometimes camera might be present under the entry “Sound video and game controllers”
4. Right click on the Camera option and then click Properties
5. Select the General tab in the dialog box that now opens in front of you
6. Write down the name of the camera manufacturer and camera model. This is very important because when you rollback camera drivers, Windows install generic—and not the latest drivers made specifically for your camera—camera drivers. In many cases, that’s all you need. However, in some cases generic drivers limit the functionality of your camera. In that case you would need to download the latest drivers directly from the camera’s manufacturer website.
7. Now click Driver in the dialog box
8. Click Roll back driver
9. Click Yes when asked to confirm your action

After Windows has rolled back the camera drivers it will prompt you to reboot Windows. You should click Yes. You must restart windows on your own even when Windows doesn’t ask.

After Windows has restarted, check if your camera is working fine. In case you are not able to access certain features, go to the manufacturer website, locate the latest drivers for your camera model, download it, and install it. Finally, restart windows.
