hi got a toshiba s50-b-15f hd laptop, i cant launch the hd webcam...it was working fine with windows 8.1 but since ive upgraded to windows 10 home i cannot find how to start the toshiba webcam HD ?...any ideas ?...there is nothing on the toshiba website for my laptop...
Hi Goofy,
what are you showing in device manager, from my screenshot mines dissabled, you might have a problem device, showing an exclamation mark.
Roy
Mine says "toshiba webcam HD"....when I checked the drivers or try to update drivers it says drivers are up to date.odd really cos they are dated 2006?...this is a new latest laptop...Toshiba website has nothing for Windows 10. Even if I uninstall the device and reboot laptop same drivers are installed..
And now the really silly bit,
Do/Have you tried the F? key, its F5, on my wifes Toshiba.
Roy
F5 doesn't do anything
so no one has this problem with windows 10 after upgrading from windows 8 ?..basically i need an app to launch the webcam?
see pic..
Mine is set to
Hope that helps
Looks like also you have an extra one on there also have check and camera is set in settings for all apps to use it
Hello!
The app just enables the webcam to see it is working and take some photos. You don't need it to operate the webcam. Load Skype or whichever software you want to use the webcam in and check if it is enabled automatically. In Skype, after you sign in, go to settings, video settings and you can confirm it is working by watching the picture in the live window. If you want to take photos from the webcam, you can find third-party utilities, otherwise you shouldn't need the webcam application.
What is the Unknown device, in your screenshot, it has a problem marker on it.
And the unsigned driver edevmonsys, i believe is part of Eset AV, but as to why its there is another question,
do you have any restriction rules for the webcam.
