webcam light on, cant access it in camera

[Jstagzsr]

so my webcam light has been on ever since i reinstalled windows. it wont shut off no matter what i do (besides uninstalling the device and removing the drivers for it.). but then when i unplug it and plug it back in (the the same usb port or a different one, in usb 2.0 and 3.0 port) itll reinstall itself, itll tell me it was setup correctly and ready to use, the device properties tells me the device is working properly (pictured), but the light turns back on upon it's self installation upon me unplugging and plugging back in and when i go to the "camera" app itll show that its using that webcam but its a black screen and when i take a picture anyway the app will freeze for a few seconds then tell me theres an error with the device. (pictured)..

what the hell is wrong now?????

any ideas?

ive also been getting code 9C on bootup that hangs my pc from booting until i reset multiple times. 9C is initializing usb devices or something like that.. i assume it is because of the camera? I dont think the camera itself is bad. it worked perfectly fine up until the iwndows reformat and reinstall. Im lost as to what to do (like i always am when i post here)
