These bugs are popping up almost faster than Microsoft can squash them...
Microsoft has issued a fix for a bug that has been locking owners of some Windows devices – including the– out of their webcams. Unfortunately, it’s only a band-aid repair job; a temporary critical troubleshooter update, rather than a proper camera driver update.
The bug, which was caused by an expired security certificate, completely disabled the integrated webcam on a number of devices – specifically those including the Qualcomm 8cx Gen 2 and Microsoft’s own SQ1 and SQ2 chips. Most notable among these is Microsoft’s own Surface Pro X., involves deploying an automatic troubleshooter. However, company-owned Surface devices with automatic troubleshooting disabled will need to have it run manually, which is an arduous process. Microsoft also warned that using the troubleshooter could result in reduced webcam functionality and image quality, so… not the greatest of fixes.
I’m concerned that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of troublesome bugs like this, though. It’s been less than a month since caused by an expired certificate in Windows, and while these things happen, Microsoft wasn’t exactly swift to rectify the issue in that particular situation.of digital certificates for day-to-day operations and interacting with third-party software, and if Microsoft doesn’t keep ahead of the game by ensuring these are up to date, we’re going to see a spate of other bugs like this one.
