Users who have installed the Windows 10 Anniversary Update will find that the major update to Microsoft’s flagship OS accidentally disabled many USB-connected webcams. When using the MimioView and MimioView HD with your Windows 10 computer, you may run into an issue where the MimioView is not recognized by your computer’s USB port the MimioView is connected to.

Open the Settings menu and go to Update & security > Windows Update.

If the MimioView device still will not acquire an image, try using a known working cable from another classroom.
