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?

Without explorer.exe, some services or device class initializations my be delayed or skipped. Ensure all relevant services ( like Plug and Play, Windows Camera Frame Server, and Device install Services) are set to start automatically...
