OpenMV IDE not detecting my camera

Hi,

so I am trying to connect my openMV H7 to and IDE, and I cannot seem to get it working. I think that it is a windows problem of my computer specifically since I got it working on my school computer no problem. Each time I connect the camera, I get a notification saying usb device not recognised.

I have tried everything I could think of;
using different usb cable,
disabling windows defender,
restarting ect.

P.S.
when I plug the camera in I get a few green flashes followed by a white one and then after a second or two, two red flashes.

The red flashes are the the USB mass storage being accessed. So, it’s working over USB.

When you install OpenMV IDE it installs USB drivers for the OpenMV Cam…

Also, how new is this camera? There were more issues like this long ago. But, generally, the current firmware works pretty much reliably across all machines.
