    Well it's pretty simple, my webcam isn't functioning anymore. When I try to open Windows 10's camera app or Skype it won't work. Looked into device manager, says the driver works fine, rolled back, uninstalled, reinstalled and nothing fixed the issue.

    Am I the only one with this? Does anybody have a solution?

    Yeah, says it's either not connected or being used by another app. But it's basically just telling me it can't get to it. Nothing specific.
