6. Restart or Reboot

• Solution: Sometimes, a simple restart of your laptop can resolve the issue.
  • Close all applications and restart your laptop to reset any temporary glitches.

7. Conflict with Another App

• Solution: Another app may be using the camera, preventing other apps from accessing it.
  • Close all other apps that might be using the camera (e.g., video conferencing apps, background services).

8. Operating System Updates

• Solution: Ensure your operating system is fully updated, as updates often contain fixes for hardware issues like camera malfunctions.

If none of these solutions work, the problem might be more complex, requiring professional repair or deeper troubleshooting.
