Microsoft has a short lived repair for Floor Professional X 2-in-1s fighting digicam points.
As a fast refresher, a number of Floor Professional X homeowners reported points with the cameras on their devices not working starting May 23rd. Rolling again the date to earlier than Might twenty third resolved the difficulty, although the workaround might trigger different issues.
In keeping with a word on Microsoft’s assist web site:
“Microsoft is deploying a essential troubleshooter to mitigate this challenge on most affected Home windows units. This workaround may disable some options of the digicam or decrease the picture high quality however ought to permit the digicam to operate till the difficulty is resolved by the gadget producer with an up to date digicam driver.”
You could find the main points for your self here, although it’s value noting that once I tried to entry the web page, it stored redirecting me to the search web page. I’m not completely certain what’s occurring there, however your mileage could differ.
The Verge studies that the issue appears to be Qualcomm’s digicam driver. The defective driver causes the digicam to cease working after the system date hits Might twenty third (therefore why altering the date briefly fastened the issue).
That is additionally why the issue solely affected Floor Professional X fashions, which run on customized ARM chips collectively developed by Qualcomm and Microsoft.
Microsoft says a driver replace ought to restore “full digicam performance.” Hopefully, that replace arrives sooner relatively than later.
