USB Camera fails to initialize on startup
Current setup: - Tablet with a Windows 10 IoT Enterprise image - Application communicates to a USB camera on startup - Application setup with as the custom shell (instead of explorer.exe) - USB camera uses the pre-installed usbvideo.sys driver. Issue: I have an issue with a USB camera video system that is permanently connected to a tablet (via an internal USB hub). On some tablets the camera is correctly initialized and the application can see a video stream but on others it does not initialize. Only by manually re-installing the drivers via device manager does it seem to fix it. In some cases, the tablet ends up failing again and the drivers need to be re-installed again. What could be the issue and how could I fix it? Does this happen to anyone else?
