Webcam has suddenly stopped working. I have followed all suggestions from Dell (and others). Even after downloading and installing the latest Dell-recommended camera driver (and updating other Dell drivers, and ensuring all Windows updates have been applied, no luck. A camera name shows up in Device Manager, but no cameras are found in Bluetooth and Devices. Restarts galore too.
Anyone else having this issue, and has anyone found solutions? Sure feels like some combo of faulty or mis-matched Dell and Windows drivers...Any help appreciated.
This issue is typically caused by a driver conflict introduced by Windows Update or SupportAssist, particularly involving the Intel USBBridge Extension driver.

I started geting this issue since 2 days ago and I am a computer and electronics engineer myself and therefore I have tried everything under the moon and nothing seems to fix it I am lost for what caused it
We’d like to share the most recent workaround to fix webcam issues.
For Windows 11:
To uninstall the USBBridge Extension v3.1.0.7611 driver, please follow the steps below:
1) Open Device Manager, locate the device as shown in the picture below, click 'View,' and select 'Drivers by device.
2) Double-click the oemxxx.inf file to identify the version that corresponds to v3.1.0.7611, as shown in the picture below:
You might notice two oemxxx.inf (cvfusbdfuextension.inf) files. Check which one has the driver version 3.1.7611 and proceed to remove it.
Note: If you only see one oemxx.inf (cvfusbdfuextension.inf) and it's version 3.1.0.7611, please proceed with the removal steps, and then continue to step 5).
3) Click “Remove driver” then select both the options and click “Remove”:
4) Wait for a minute the driver will be removed and re-scan to confirm it’s been removed.
Do step 5) only when you see one oemxx.inf(cvfusbdfuextension.inf) and it’s 3.1.0.7611 in step 2).
5) Download Camera driver 73.22000.1.8, A00 from Dell.com and install it.

Having the same problems with internal camera. Computer crashed again and again. There were problems with Windows Hello. It started after last Windows update I suppose.
@DELL- Nat M These instructions are kind of confusing, can you try and clear them up a bit?
#2 - "oemxxx.inf" - there are three versions of this file, even in your screen. Might be missing "(cvfusbdfuextension.inf)" here. There is also a mention of 3.1.7611 in this step which I think is incorrect.
And after removing the driver and rescanning I no longer have the oemxx.inf(cvfusbdfuextension.inf) file.
