Why it happens
Windows 11 update replaced the Intel IPU6 camera driver with a generic HID driver
Camera access blocked by Windows 11 privacy settings after a policy update
Camera device disabled in Device Manager due to a driver conflict
Corrupted Intel IPU6 firmware package requiring a clean reinstall

How to fix
Enable Camera access: Settings → Privacy and security → Camera → turn on Camera access
Uninstall camera in Device Manager (Cameras section), restart — Windows will detect and reinstall
Download and install the Intel IPU6 Camera driver from Dell Support for XPS 13 Plus 9320
Install Dell Peripheral Manager from Dell Support if camera driver alone does not resolve the issue
“Reinstalling the IPU6 driver from Dell Support fixed my XPS 13 Plus camera. The generic Windows driver does not work with this model.” — Farouk, Kuala Lumpur
