Here's how to back up Camera app settings on Windows.

i. There are a few possible ways to manually back up and restore your camera app settings on Windows 10/11. Here are some steps you can try:

- To back up your camera app settings, you need to copy the **Settings** folder from this location: `%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsCamera_8wekyb3d8bbwe`. You can paste this folder anywhere you want to save your backup.
- To restore your camera app settings, you need to paste the copied backup folder into the same location as above. You may need to create a new user account or move the files to another PC for this to work.
- If your camera app is not working properly, you can also try to reset it by going to **Settings - Apps - Apps & features - Camera - Advanced options - Reset**. This will revert the camera app to its default settings and clear any data stored by the app.
- You can also check if your camera app has permission to access your webcam by going to **Settings - Privacy & security - Camera** and making sure that **Camera access** and **Let apps access your camera** are turned on. You can also choose which apps should have access to your camera from the same page.

ii. There is no direct way to import or export your camera app settings on Windows. However, you can try the following methods to achieve a similar result:

- To import or export your photos and videos taken with the camera app, you can use a USB cable to connect your device to the PC and use the **Photos app** to transfer them. You can also use other apps or cloud services to sync your photos and videos across devices.
- To import or export your camera app preferences, such as image resolution, shooting modes, exposure, etc., you can copy the **Settings** folder from this location: `%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsCamera_8wekyb3d8bbwe`. You can paste this folder anywhere you want to save your backup or move it to another PC or user account to restore your settings.
