Microsoft said it could be under either Imaging Devices or Sound, Video, etc. but it's just not there or anywhere on the computer.

I've spent an awful lot of time on this issue. I read today that Microsoft has not tested the camera function with regards to Windows 10 on my particular desktop. I am quite certain it's due to me updating my Windows 7 to Windows 10 a couple years ago because that's when I lost use of my touchscreen also.

There's also the remote possibility that the internal camera is bad.

My son is a software engineer so I usually try to get his input, but he's been busy working on the next moon landing. (He works for NASA). He hates Microsoft, so his personal devices are all Apple. I hate to bother him with computer questions and he lives in another state, but today he did email me saying I could possibly buy a desktop camera and connect it to a USB port. I probably won't spend the $$$ for that because it's not crucial that I have a camera for Zoom.

Thank you again for your response.
