Defiance III, webcam issues

Hey guys! I can't seem to find my webcam on my defiance III laptop. I bought it from another retailer (Curry's in ireland), so I don't have an order on the pcspecialist website to get drivers... and I dunno what else to do. It doesn't get detected by windows, even if I press the FN + F10 button to activate the camera. The camera setting in win10 doesn't see anything, skype doesn't see anything, and updating drivers doesn't help since I don't see a webcam in the first place.

What do? :turned:

So if you fn + f10 in device manager, it doesn’t pop up?

Do any of your hotkeys work? Did you buy it with windows or configure yourself?

Nope, no change in the device manager. I'm not even sure where it would appear, I only have audio inputs and outputs, where the microphone works fine. But there's the video adapters and whatnot, just no webcam that I can see.

Which hotkeys do you mean? The Fn stuff? They all work, even the webcam one has the webcam on/webcam off message appear, but it makes no difference.

Bought with windows! I think I might have disabled it at first when I first got it, but then I turned it back on later and have used it in the last 4-5 months with another piece of software. I haven't used it since then though, and I can no longer see it.

You may need to update control center (hotkey).

All your drivers will be at www.clevo.com.tw and the clevo model number is on the underside of the laptop.
