My integrated webcam for my Asus laptop (USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam) becomes a hidden device and is greyed out as shown in above picture. I have un-installed the webcam and restarted my laptop multiple times but it still remains as hidden and greyed out.
Would @Falcon_ASUS or @Blake_ASUS be able to assist, as I have seen both provide webcam solutions in this forum?

Does the issue appear right after any system/apps' download or update?
Have you installed any third-party apps for the camera? (e,g. ZOOM)
If you have installed it, we would recommend to uninstall the third-party app and reboot the laptop ,or go to safe mode to confirm.
