This actually made the driver appear again, which I updated through the Device Manager (I believe this gave some stability to the webcam).Īt this point I'm very disappointed since, it seems that there isn't an HP solution out there for the camera, and I only found this link:īut is generic -and not useful-, since I'm totally unable to find a recent driver for the HP HD Webcam.

Then, I found a possible solution, which was to uninstall the HP HD Webcam, run a hardware check, and then wait for the system to install the driver that comes pre-installed. I then explored other options, like updating the CyberLink YouCam directly through the website, but the installation was locked by Windows 10, it seems due to a lack of a valid signature, even though there are ways to bypass this, I decided not to do it yet. I updated the driver HP Webcam driver through the Device Manager, just to tell me that I had the latest driver available (which changed nothing to be honest).

The things I've done so far now are: Update the CyberLink YouCam software (through HP), the camera was not working even when it was ran with the original software that came with my PC (never opened the software until I had this problem), and just today, the camera seemed stable enough to not crush the updated CyberLink YouCam program. I read a lot, and did not find a solution yet. My search for fixing this problem started. Afterwards, the camera failed again on a Google Hangout session when that happened, I started to worry. Since I updated to Windows 10, everything was working like peaches, but a couple weeks ago, I tried to use Skype, and the Webcam ceased to work, I believed it was a small problem, and ignored it.
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B960 RAM: 4GB At least there are no problems with the calling or video feature, although they do lack some creativity.Windows Edition: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (Originally Windows 7) These problems prevent the app from appearing smooth no matter how powerful PC you have or how fast your Internet connection is. Switching between different conversations in the app and sending a message does feel slow at times. Even worse, once you do open the photo by clicking it, you can't zoom it in or do anything besides saving it. This prevents you from looking at an image and messaging to someone about it. The apps functionality is pretty solid, although there is one thing we find annoying, which is that you are almost unable to see the image someone sent you without opening it, as the thumbnail for it is pretty small. The major part of the window is reserved for the actual chat, which doesn't offer anything you aren't used to, if you are familiar with Messenger, WhatsApp, or Snapchat. Above you can see your profile icon which opens various settings when you click it. You can see your recent chats at the left part of the screen. The app's interface feels somewhat empty. The design of the app is as simple as it gets, with grayscale design or white design mixed with light blue color, famous for Skype. Those days are gone as every other app has a video-call feature, but nonetheless let's see how Skype keeps up on the Windows platform. It was used worldwide by families, friends, and businessmen trying to hold a long-distance meetings.
