How to Use:

Step 1: Identify Your Front Camera First, run the camera identification script to see all your camera devices: pwsh Step 2: Run the Service To start the camera control service:

1. Right-click on StartCameraControl.bat and select "Run as administrator"
2. Or run PowerShell as administrator and execute: .\WindowsHelloCameraControl.ps1

How It Works:

The script continuously monitors for:

• Windows Hello authentication processes (WinBio, AuthHost, LogonUI)
• Lock screen activity
• Biometric service activity

When Windows Hello Face ID is detected:

1. Disables your front camera device
2. Re-enables it after the authentication process ends

Features:

• Targets front camera specifically - Filters for cameras with "Front" or "Integrated" in the name
• Avoids IR cameras - Excludes Windows Hello IR cameras from being controlled
• Logging - Creates a log file at %TEMP%\WindowsHelloCameraControl.log
• Administrator check - Ensures the script runs with required privileges
• Background operation - Runs continuously in the background
• Error handling - Gracefully handles errors and continues monitoring
