There was NO VM installed, but anyway...

So just take care about that crap!!!

I had that problem since weeks, now in invested more than 12h for debugging that s**t...!!

I had no signs that VirtualBox 6.1.2 was the problem, then i uninstalled it and after restart the USB cam was working again...

Better use v 6.0.x... 6.0.14 was stable, now i updated to 6.0.22 - seems to be also stable!!

I think soon i will buy the commercial edition of VMWare, the free version is not enough for me because of only 1 VM...
