Hi thanks alot
Please send me a photo of your DxDiag main page. Follow these steps:
- Press and hold the Windows key then press the “R” key to open the Run program.
- Now type “DxDiag” and press enter.
- It should open the Direct X Diagnostics Tool.
- Take screenshot and reply back to me with the screenshot.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me it must be the wires that are connected to your laptop’s camera. Your wires must be loose that are causing Webcam to turn off when you move the screen.
Uninstall those drivers and search the web to reinstall them again.

I am not able to see the camera option in other troubleshooters and not in the control panel even after unhiding all the options through view. I have added the snip of error shown on opening the camera in my laptop. Please help if anyone know what can be done. My laptop model is Dell Inspiron 3537.
