LifeCam HD-3000 stopped working after Windows 10 Anniversary Update
Back in September 2015 I had a similar problem: Microsoft's LifeCam HD-3000 webcam stopped working when I 'upgraded' from Windows 7 to Win 10. However, a thread on Windows Ten Forums solved the problem.
So I've been a happy camper for the last 17 month. That is until the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. At least I am pretty sure that's when the LifeCam stopped working. The cam itself does not seem to be the problem--the little blue light comes on when it is engaged, the LifeCam software boots up fine, but, unfortunately, this is what I see:
The webcam is appropriately connected to a USB 2.0 port and, according to Windows, it is functioning properly:
The webcam also does not work via the Windows 10 Camera app, and on a video chat site (black screen on both).
I have detailed my attempts to fix this problem over on the Microsoft Support site: Need help troubleshooting Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 Not Working
Can you all think of anything else I can do?
Many thanks,
Mark
