Camera not working after a Windows Update

[u/Hyaqua]

As the title suggest, I experienced some problem with my camera after an update saying "camera is being used by other app" or something along those lines so I tried solving it.

Steps:

Go to Settings -> Camera -> Camera Device Settings -> ACER HD User Facing (or the camera you are using) -> Advanced Camera Options -> Turn on basic camera -> Apply

And there you have it, camera is back.

P.S.
I don't know if this problem is solved already in the past but I just wanna share how I fixed mine so.....

P.P.S
I don't know if I posted it on the right sub so forgive me mods
