Fixing Windows anniversary update 10 


 WebCam issues



After the Big anniversary update, same of windows 10 users are experiencing serious issues with their Webcams.
The problem is due to the significant changes that this new update has: Microsoft added new ways for applications to access webcams, preventing cameras from using two particular compression formats—H.264 and MJPEG.
The new Camera Frame Server should only receive an uncompressed YUY2 encoding stream from the webcam causing Millions of cameras to crash.

Fixing Your WebCam
1. Type (Win + R) and type regedit
2. Navigate to:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform" (For 32bit Windows)
and If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 10, you will need to navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform"

3. Right-click the "Platform" key and select New → DWORD (32-bit) Value.

4. Name this value "EnableFrameServerMode" and set the value to "0" by double clicking on it.


This Will Disable the Frame Server Mode and enjoy your live chat ;)
