Windows Studio Effects not available on Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Laptop with dedicated NPU

Hi, NikunjGoyal

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



Thank you for reaching out about the issue you're experiencing with Windows Studio Effects not being available on your Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor and a dedicated NPU.

It's great to see that you've provided detailed information about your device and its specifications. Based on the information you've provided, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor with Intel® AI Boost and the associated NPU should support Windows Studio Effects.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Verify the Windows Version: Ensure that your system is running on Windows 11, version 22H2 or later, as this is a prerequisite for Windows Studio Effects.
   
2. Driver Check: The device must have a supported NPU, and the hardware manufacturer must have opted in by installing the Windows Studio Effect driver on the system. You mentioned that all drivers are fully updated, but it might be worth checking if the specific Windows Studio Effects (MEP) Driver is installed.
   
3. Driver Reinstallation: If the problem persists, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the camera driver. Visit the Lenovo laptop manufacturer’s website, download the camera driver for the device model, and then reinstall the driver.
   
4. Settings Verification: Manage Windows Studio Effects via the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras. Here, select your camera from the list of connected cameras to access its settings.
   

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, I recommend reaching out to Lenovo’s customer support or visiting a professional for further assistance.

Why do I have to keep reinstalling the Surface app to get Windows Studio Effects to work (Surface Laptop Studio 2)?

Hi, StephenVolz.

Welcome to Microsoft support community.



We noticed you are having problem with the Windows Studio Effect setting get reset which do make people confusing and cause a negative experience.



Unfortunately we does not find too many resource regard to your issue and to top it up the test machine we currently at hand does not have the support for Windows Studio Effect.



May I know:

• Does the Windows Studio Effect works before
  

From current situation, I guess this kind of feature is a pretty new, it probably wouldn’t be so stable or there is some profile corruption on your current account.



I suggest you:

• Switch to new local account in Windows
  Switch to another local account on your computer, this is to exclude the possibility that broken account setting (On your current account) might affect your setting.
  
  • Select Start, select and hold (or right-click) the account name icon (or picture), then select Switch user. If you do not have another account, you could always add one under:
    Start > Settings > Accounts ; just remember to choose the local account.
    *If you experiencing any difficulty feel free to ask me.
    

• Submit feedback
  

If local account does not work, I believe I have little idea about your problem. In that case I suggest you give a feedback and let the developer team know the issue. And we could provide some work around to help you.



[table][tr][td]Microsoft attaches great importance to user experience, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the Feedback Hub, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me.
