Thats the one I clicked on, just waiting to complete.

Thanks. The Asus website only lists drivers up to Win 7.
Which update was it? If 2004 then these version updates can stop devices from working due to incompatibility.
Rolling back should correct it.

[leefreemanroach97]

Just checked, it was the 2004 that was installed.

[Bastet]

Thanks. How’s the rollback going?

[leefreemanroach97]

Its progressing successfully so far.

[leefreemanroach97]

Its completed but the camera is still upside down.

I also contacted asus themselves but the first and only answer I got was “take it to a repair technician”!

I suspect yours is one of the cameras which was installed upside down & the 2004 update has removed Asus’s fix to flip the picture but the restore didn’t return this.
If you can access the camera somehow you could try correcting it by turning it the right-way up.
Or if a camera is needed you can purchase a USB camera.

How can I turn it the right way up? As there must be a way of doing it, asus and Microsoft can’t just bring out updates and force you to spend out fixing their problems.

You would have to open the monitor & physically turn the camera around. This is probably what Asus is expecting the repair store to do.

Thank you for all your suggestions and help. After trying them all, I have had to result to physically flipping the webcam board which works absolutely fine now on everything. If there happens to be an update in the future that flips the camera back around, i just need to physically flip the camera back around

Thanks for the update. I was a little concerned that the wires would be the problem when flipping the camera, glad that they weren’t.
