    System update from microsoft or webcam manufacturer?
    I was so updated by one system mouse that it stopped working, uninstalling the patch helped.

    And does "restore driver" work in device manager and device properties?
    Have you tried restarting the webcam after the update?

    I read these and other topics before I asked the forum question, there is a Skype message -
    "The latest version of Skype for Windows includes changes that have improved video calls, group video calls and screen sharing. Unfortunately, these changes mean that on some older computers video calls and screen sharing will not work.

    If your computer does not support SSE2, you will not be able to use video calls or screen sharing. Most modern computers provide SSE2 support (a set of processor instructions introduced in 2001), but there are still computers that will not be able to run all the functions in the latest version of Skype. Unfortunately, there are no plans to provide support for these older computers, but You can still use Skype on various computers and mobile devices. "
    I have a netbook dell inspiron 17, win 10 has long been installed, which is automatically updated, so far there have been no problems with the camera, until today's update.

    And because of the recurring problem I would stick to these simple tips, otherwise you may have to bury the fruitlessly in the system, one solution was to completely remove the remains of the old program, and only install a new one, right? Secondly, how do you know that the program has been correctly installed?

Topic summary

After a Skype update (version 7.34.0.103), a user reported that their built-in camera on a Windows 10 laptop was no longer detected by the application, despite functioning correctly in other Windows programs. Suggestions included checking for system updates, restoring the camera driver, and completely uninstalling the previous Skype version before reinstalling the latest one. The user noted that the issue might be related to the computer's support for SSE2 instructions, which are required for certain Skype functionalities. Ultimately, the problem was resolved following a Windows 10 update a few days later.
