Since about 6 Sep 2022, my webcam is pixelated on Windows 11

When using Teams, sometimes the other parties cannot see me, even though I can see my bideo active in Teams.

The webcam is connected throuigh a KVM switch - and it always has been. It worked perfectly up to about a week ago.

I believe a Windows 11 update has changed the way this is managed.

Through Device Manager, I have tried removing the device, updating the driver, etc. I have tried adjustments through Settings. I even bought another webcam and it has exactly the same issue.

The shot below shows hoe unclear the picture is in the Camera app.

By default win update under win 11 does not auto update Optional updates, which includes drivers.

See your PC makers support to update both bios and ALL drivers. For a newish system there should be a shortcut to that PC makers update utility on your system
