How to fix webcam locked by another application

 

The cause of this issue is maybe the driver of your webcam it maybe corrupted or there’s a compatibility issue. Try to check  on the internet if there’s available new driver and try it, you can also check the setting in your selective suspend by following  these steps:

Click the start button on your computer then drag your mouse cursor to the control panel. Click system Maintenance and then the Power options, as you can see, below is the selected plan just click on change plan settings, then change advanced power settings. Now click the USB settings and select the suspend setting and set together on battery and plugged in into disabled.

Take note: that this will actually reduce the battery’s life when using your Notebook.

Once done, just  restart your computer
