Issue with windows 10

[U.S Senator Steven Armstrong]

it all started a couple years ago when I got FaceRig, when it installed the drivers for it's camera It kinda... deleted the drivers for my actual webcam. I did some digging and found out the troubleshooter can fix it. I tried to run the troubleshooter to supposedly fix my issue but then this pops up:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\msdt.exe
Windows cannot acces the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions.

I start getting worried and did more digging to find out that msdt.exe isn't even existant in that directory. Found out that using the sfc /scannow command in a cmd prompt could work and re-add the files. I ran the command but it's results say "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". I'm stuck entirely, if the program the is designed to find missing files and re-add them doesn't work then what does?!

So your camera doesn't work? And you think it is a driver issue?

Rightclick the Windows start button > Device Manager > Imaging Devices > Rightclick and uninstall everything listed under Imaging Devices > Reboot the PC

Now install the drivers for you camera again.

It might be simply refered to as cameras in non english versions of Windows.

Yes, Fn+F6 turns on and off the camera. It no longer works

then perhaps the camera is broken due to old age/wear-and-tear or has loose connection with laptop board.
no physical connection = device manager cannot see the camera = camera driver is not loaded

The camera is integrated into the laptop

It will still show up under device manager. It it isn't listed in the device manager tab it is not connected.

Is msdt.exe a virus? No, it is not. The true msdt.exe file is a safe Microsoft Windows system process, called "Diagnostics Troubleshooting Wizard". However, writers of malware programs, such as viruses, worms, and Trojans deliberately give their processes the same file name to escape detection. Viruses with the same file name are for instance Trojan:Win64/Ropest.G (detected by Microsoft), and TROJ_GEN.R08NC0DAR15 (detected by TrendMicro).

Agreed. Also, why copy and paste? I saw those exact words on a different site.

Its also a sneaky means of what often occurs regarding "illegal WinOS downloads"
As someone usually has unpacked the OS files from the ISO and such, then replaced legit MS Service EXE and DLLs with ones that have hidden malware; then repackage the files and ISO and upload it, the user would never know until its too late. As then it could have been doing background things you never knew and sending it to some user, somewhere... like keylogging for example.

Also download legit OS and Apps from their actual official sources.
