How to rollback camera driver using Device Manager on Windows 10

Although it's always recommended to use the latest device drivers to access new improvements and features, sometimes a driver update can rollout with bugs or compatibility issues. If the camera was working before a recent driver update, rolling back to the previous version can fix the problem.
To roll back to the previous version of the camera driver on Windows 10, use these steps:
  1. 1. Open Start.
  2. 2. Search for Device Manager, and click the top result to open the app.
  3. 3. Expand the Imaging devices, Cameras, or Sound, video and game controllers branch.
  4. 4. Right-click the webcam and select the Properties option.
  5. 5. Click on the Driver tab.
  6. 6. Click the Roll Back Driver button.
  7. 7. Select one of the reasons you're rolling back.
  8. 8. Click the Yes button.
  9. 9. Click the Yes button again.
  10. 10. Restart your computer.
After you complete the steps, the webcam should start working again using the older version of the driver. Using this process will also prevent Windows Update from reinstalling the same camera driver again, but in future updates, a newer version of the driver may download automatically.
