      Hi All,

       

      I found a note on our blog post Windows 10 (PC) Insider Preview (Build 17074)

      • Upgrading to 17063 or later builds sometimes causes Settings / Privacy / Microphone, Camera, etc. to flip to “disabled”, which breaks camera and microphone access. A workaround is to manually turn them back on.

        I am still experiencing this issue since I am unable to access the privacy settings without it crashing.
