EDIT: I fixed my own problem. Any time I'd re-add the camera, I noticed a small red dot on the top left corner. I'd click it and it would go away. By looking up that weird thing, I came across another thread where someone said to right click the scene and transform it to "fullscreen" and that worked. I adjusted.
Why it originally happened, I don't know, but that was the fix for anyone in the future with the same problem.

Hi! I hope someone can help!
No issues were happening until my Windows computer auto-updated overnight last night.
I started up OBS tonight; no settings were changed. But my camera capture was not turning on at all. The camera itself was also not lit up (it has a green light when it's active). It's a Logitech HD Webcam C270. I restarted OBS Studio multiple times; I also restarted my computer a few times, but no change. I also clicked "deactivate" and "activate" a few times to see if it would pick it up. My computer was definitely noticing it because it's one of the options in "Device" when you click on properties and look at the Devices drop down list.
I decided to go live with no camera, but after I did, I decided to try one more time to deactivate and activate it, and the light turned on on the camera itself; so I went to its properties, I could see the camera working in the properties preview, but even though it's the top source on OBS, it is not showing at all on my scene(s).
My computer/OBS is picking up my camera but I can't get it to show up on my actual layout as a source...Any help would be appreciated!
(As a one-night generic facecam idea when the facecam was being picked up by OBS at all, I did a Window Capture with cropping to capture the small square that I could get from the "properties". Put that in my facecam area in my layout.)
Hope to know what's going on, and get some help. Thanks.
