I am running windows 10 x64 on a lenovo ideapad 100-15ibd model. I have made a Linux Mint 18.3 live usb and booted into it and as soon as i entered in the linux itself, the webcam led turned on. Restarted the laptop, removed usb, logged into windows, but the led still remained on ( it was like that since the booting phase, not a single second turned off). Any ideas? Also, the camera is not detected anymore from the windows, tried a driver reinstall but without succes.
PS: solved. Had to download a software guvcview run it and close it. Seems the problem is resolved

Welcome to the Linux Mint forums. Good that you managed to solve it. Scary idea that the webcam would always be on.
