I would love to invite ThoR to fix my mom's ASUS laptop. It got upgraded to Windows 10 and the built in web camera now insists to record upside-down, much to my mom's (and her friends') frustration when she is on Skype. I went through a large handful of drivers from both Microsoft, ASUS and camera vendor, but only the ancient Microsoft drivers from 2006 (!), that Windows 10 by default insisted on, were able to produce a picture at all. The controllers in the drivers that typically would allow you to set various properties, are mostly all "grayed out", with a few exceptions. Among the grayed out options are those for rotation. So... woop woop for compatible closed source drivers from Microsoft.

OT:
This was a common issue with Asus built in webcams (i suppose they're mounted upside down and the software flips the image). I worked at a small computer store for a few years whch sold Asus laptops and i saw that problem quite often, just download the correct drivers from Asus to fix it.

Nope, they did not fix anything, they made the camera not work at all with Windows 10 - not work as in.. no software would find any camera, despite it being there the device list, and according to Windows, working.


Ok, Windows 10 was not release by then, so i only tried it in Win7 and probably Win8.
