The issue you're experiencing with Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.6899) after installing KB5066835, where apps freeze or crash when accessing camera or microphone, is a known problem related to the Capability Access Manager Service (camsvc) deadlocking during device enumeration or permission queries.
Thanks for the info! Is there maybe another workaround than simply disabling camsvc? If not, do we know if Microsoft will publish a fix for this or should I try to upgrade to 25H2 (which hopefully does not have the same issue with camsvc)?
