I employ this KVM switch alongside my personal desktop and work laptop: http://amazon.com/dp/B092Q42VPS?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1. Currently, my Logitech C525 webcam isn't functioning well through the KVM. When attempting to use it, the flashing light and error messages appear, indicating another app is using the camera. This problem began this week; prior to February 2024, I used the webcam without issues via direct connection. It also worked with a Logitech C920. I've included a screenshot of the error message from launching the Windows camera app. Assistance would be greatly appreciated, as seamless webcam access across devices is important to me.

No, I haven't tried any fixes for the WebCam yet.

I tried the system's built-in troubleshooter, but it failed to function.

Did you disconnect the KVM from both devices, power them off, restart them, and then reconnect the KVM again? Could you share the KVM model so I can help with troubleshooting?
