"We Couldn’t Find a Camera Compatible with Windows Hello"

I've been using Windows 10 face recognition, ie Windows Hello, for a long time without problems. Suddenly it stopped working and I discovered my security software was blocking access to the webcam. After I turned that protection off my apps, such as Zoom and Vivaldi, can access the camera again, however I can't get it reconnected to Windows Hello. When I go to Sign In Option in Settings it says that "Windows Hello Face" is currently unavailable. When I click on it it says it can't find a compatible camera. So far I've tried moving the camera to a different USB port, attempted to update the camera drivers (there are no driver updates available) and rebooted a few times, without success. Any suggestions for what to try next will be appreciated. Currently running Windows 10.0.19043.1889
