Cameras not working

I apologize in advance - must be simple...
I have two cameras (Microsoft LifeCam, and Elmo Mo-1).
Both show up as video input devices for a scene.
I had done some tests last year with them both in OBS and it worked fine.
Just restarted using OBS (it did an update to current version), and they are both still there in the scenes, and show up, and show properties, but no image.
They work fine in other programs (Zoom, Camera, CamDiag64, AmCap), and I have closed all of those so none are locking out the camera.
(checked in the task manager also).
Stop/restart OBS, reboot computer, no change.
Not sure how else to proceed.
Windows-10 Pro, OBS Studio (64 bit) V27.1.3.
I can add other things (e.g. image) to a scene, and it shows fine, And the virtual camera works and sends to Zoom fine.
I read several reports and solutions on this online - did the "deactivate when not showing", no effect.

Hmm, I went into the scenes, opened properties for each camera - changed the source to another source, and then back to its correct and original source, and the image preview showed up, and all seems well. Something was broken from the update, where the camera name and device were showing, but the actual properties were wrong, and needed a forced refresh.
Oddly; even creating a new scene and adding them as a source were still broken - now all seems well - fingers crossed!
Back to learning OBS VCam!
