Hey all, So I’ve just about lost my mind trying to deal with Microsoft Lifecam Studio 5000 and Windows 10. I need to find a webcam that is guaranteed to work out of the box with Windows 10-- the drivers exist, they can be downloaded, they don’t break the computer, the webcam actually works, no complex tricks or impossible workarounds required, etc etc etc. I really, really need to avoid a repeat of what just happened. I typed the entire story out and erased it because, well, this turned a fiery rant about Microsoft and the worst customer service in the known universe, and I really do need to keep this in general questions. 😉 I just need to find a webcam that 100% works and is COMPLETELY compatible with Windows 10 Home 64-bit. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance to all the wonderful smart people here! ---

Added, because it passed the edit time limit: The Lifecam literally says in print on the back of the box that it works with Windows 10. I guarantee that it does not-- so what the box/user guide/whatever says is not enough to go on. I need to find a webcam that people have actually used that they actually found to work with Windows 10. ---

I have a Logitech C525 (about $32) that works beautifully with Windows 10 Home 64x. Installed the software, plugged it in, and it just works. ---

Thanks! 🙂 Has anybody tried the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920? I’ve heard good things about it, but after going through the entire Lifecam nightmare… I really feel like I need to know for a fact that it worked for someone else.
