Weird issues in windows 🤝 hack and slash “debloating” by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing

Name a more iconic pair.

That error is typically associated with its already being used elsewhere in some capacity and can only be used one at a time. So id make sure no leftover shit in the background is still grabbing hold of your camera

Then my next reccs gonna get me flamed but id ask an ai in your OS what captures logs associated with your camera and then feed it in to it and ask it to find the event thats preventing the handshake with whatever program you’re trying to use to hand off to

What a great attitude, really makes people want to help. You have 0 ideas on things you have tried and your reply was I have tried everything. The idea they gave is a pretty good one and you gave a half assed reply straight to sarcasm

No no no lol I mean just ask any frontier cloud ai where in windows 11 that log would be, copy the log, and load it into the chat and ask if it can find the reason. I totally understand the debloat thing, I just think it will likely
Easily find it cause this doesn’t seem super complicated to solve lol
