If you have an integrated camera on your Windows 10 computer, such as on a laptop computer, you may be wondering how to completely disable it.The good news is you can completely disable your camera without any special software – all you need to do is to disable the device in the ‘device manager’.With the device disabled Windows as well as all applications will not be able to use your camera. You can then repeat the process to enable it again if you later need to use the camera. How to disable your integrated web camera using the device managerPlease note: you will need administrator access on the computer to use the device manager. Using your keyboard, press the Windows button + R to open the Run window. Under ‘Open’ type devmgmt.msc and click ‘OK’. Expand ‘Imaging devices’ to display your camera. It may be called ‘Integrated Camera’, ‘USB Camera’ or similar.

Right-click on the device and choose ‘Disable’. Click ‘OK’ to confirm. The camera is now disabled – Windows and applications will not be able to use the device. To re-enable it, repeat the process and choose ‘Enable’.

Okay, I've reached the end of my rope trying to find the answer myself so i'll ask the question.In brief, the title is exactly what I'm after, the complete and total disabling and removal of windows hello and it's functionality from my corporate surfaces. Where I am: Currentlywindows hello will not work. I've disabled it (with GP and Regedit) to the point where it cannot log anyone in and no one can setup a pin or facial recognition log in.What i'm still having an issue: The text in the login screen indicating it could be set up 'looking for you.' 'You need to setup a pin.'

And the fact the camera turns on and looks for recognition.I want that gone, I don't want the functionality, I don't want it asking my users to setupsome they can't, I don't want to have my devices batteries drained by a functionality I didn't want or ask for.So with that in mind can any one help me get that text gone and teh camera to stop automatically turning on and scanning?
