carmik 0 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm running a trial version of ESET IS on a Windows 10 64bit (build 1803) system. IS version is 12.0.27.0 This IS program exhibited a number of issues, notably breaking network connectivity, which I fixed by making a clean uninstall (software was replaced by windows defender). However, the laptop's camera, a Lenovo EasyCamera, does not work at all. Issue seems to be exactly the same with the one reported by https://forum.eset.com/topic/14959-web-camera/?do=findComment&comment=76376 I've tried removing the camera and rebooting. Same issue. I've also tried reinstalling ESET IS, disabling/enabling webcam protection. Same result. How can I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,070 Posted December 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2018 If an issue persists after uninstalling ESET, it's highly unlikely that ESET would be the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmik 0 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Issue appeared immediately after uninstalling the eset product. Furthermore, this issue is exactly similar to the one described in page 2 of the thread I've mentioned, with the exact same camera type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,070 Posted December 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2018 Did you check this? https://geekermag.com/fix-lenovo-camera-not-working-windows-10/ There is mentioned a bug in the Lenovo software which requires you to re-enable it while turning off privacy mode.

carmik 0 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I've followed the steps there, but nothing helped. Then I disabled camera control in IS, uninstalled it and then the camera started working again... Bottomline, I'll stay clear from IS and stick to NOD32 which as been performing rock solid on the same rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
