On the Microsoft Community, a user named Roger Vilalta Garcia reported that the camera on his Surface Pro X stopped working and he got 'Error code 0xA00F4271 (0x80004005).' error message. Mr. Garcia asked for help because the camera did not recover even though he operated as instructed by the help application.

Similar reports have been seen on the social bulletin board site Reddit, and Motor-Roll-1788 said, ``When I called Microsoft's troubleshooter, it was a known issue that was currently being addressed, and the method to solve it immediately was for all apps. And it was explained that it was a full reset that deleted files.It seems that resetting while keeping user files will not solve the problem.The person in charge said that unless the camera is needed immediately, Microsoft will fix it in the next few days He advised me that I should wait because I'm planning to release the file.'

Regarding this issue, PCurrington pointed out in the Microsoft community, ``Actually, it was reported in another thread on May 22nd and 23rd, but Microsoft's solution didn't seem to help.''

Reddit user Wapitiii speculates that the Windows Hello certificate may have expired after manually setting the date back a few days and the problem disappeared.
