Pprune may be too remote for this and I worry that my imperfect advice will simply result in a more broken machine, take care.

Reboot machine - You say "But I shut it down every day"
No no no no no. Win 10 does not do a full restart when you shut the machine down. Do a "Restart". I recommend that "Fast Startup" should be turned off. Then you get to choose whether you want to Hibernate or Shutdown and the fake "Shutdown" option goes away.

Check Control Panel/Device Manager for errors (Red Exclamation marks)

May as well check OS file integrity with
Chkdsk /f
sfc /scannow
(Both in administrator cmd window)

Find the camera driver for your machine and re-install them. This is not always easy and is a BIG advantage of say a Dell.

Not really complete but it may be a start.

Looks quite good.
