Hi,

Apparently the Intel AVStream Camera driver update released via Windows Update earlier today broke the front and back cameras on my S3.

A system restore did the trick.

So here's a little heads up for anyone who may have installed it and found that their cameras didn't work.

I am starting to learn to create restore points before any significant updates.
Might also turn off auto updates.

It's an optional update, so I don't think it'll automatically install itself (not too familiar about this, I'm an OS X developer and bought a Surface just for the fun of it)

Optional updates are not automatically installed but I will keep an eye out for this since I tend to install the optional updates.
