Why's my camera is locked?

Image

I've tried several things to make it open:
Pressing F8 or FN + F8

Turning off and on the camera access
Troubleshooting
Disabling and enabling the camera
updating the camera
uninstalling the latest update

But it's still not unlocking the camera. How can I unlock this?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1
Look at the camera lens above your screen, is there a small privacy slider that needs to be opened to access the webcam?

2
If that was not the cause of the problem, click your Start Button, then jsut type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.
