Significant improvement achieved! The camera now functions within Logitech G Hub, with the preview window opening on Bluetooth and devices > Camera > HD Pro Webcam C920. I searched for the WindowShowFailed error code and discovered this helpful guide: Can't Start Your Camera Guide. The solution involved a registry edit—applying it in both locations, restarting, and it resolved the issue! Before this, updating chipset drivers after Windows 11 installation didn’t help, but that was noted. Still experiencing problems with Discord video, so I reinstalled again without success. Keep trying!
Very close to the link you shared, just with a few minor adjustments. Didn’t have a chance to check the same page for those extra codes. Still the same website, though. A bit challenging 📷🥳 No discord, but it’s probably a settings issue or something related to Windows/discord toggling or selection options? Some effort was worth it. Just a little more needed 👍
I looked further and noticed others might have a similar problem. The strange part is the cam functions in Discord's web version but not in the desktop app. A few mentioned disabling webcam protection in their BitDefender software to fix it, though I don't use it. It seems like the issue might be related to Windows or Discord itself.
