EOS Webcam Utily doesn't pick up Camera

I've tried this on my mac and it worked just fine.

I'm currently trying on a PC Laptop and I'm having trouble.

 

I've already done the usual turning wifi off and making sure EOS Utility isn't open in the task bar.

EOS Webcam Utiliy does appear as a drop down option for when I want to use the webcam, but if I select it on OBS, I just get a black screen. I don't even get the splash that says "EOS Webcam Utility", it's just a black screen.

The camera appears under Device Manager so I know the computer can recognize it.

 

What am I doing wrong?

I should also add that I've already made sure that EOS Utility isn't running in Task Manager.

I have Windows 10.

 

Also the camera shows up just fine in the live view of EOS Utility.

the issue is just the webcam utility

FINAL ALSO, When I connect the camera, instead of showing the live feed, it shows a black screen with a white computer logo and a battery on top.

What camera are you using?  Is it in video mode?

 

What is the chipset inside of your Windows 10 computer?  It works best with Intel chipsets.
