Droid webcam video disappear and app crash quickly after startup

I have installed droidwebcam client on android 5.5 and Windows 7 about month
ago. Finally I achieved to see the picture from my samsung galaxy smartphone on
PC droid client as well as in the Skype settings video camera. As my mobile internet
speed was slow I was unable to test the video. This week I switched to LTE mobile
internet so it is enough to stream some video. I needed to have Google
Meet talk so I decided to check it beforehand using video testing (GM preview)
in browser on this service.
Indeed after some incorrect attempts to get video (picture) on PC screen and GM preview,
I found correct way, I then stumbled upon permanent video disappearing and PC DroidCamApp crash after several seconds of rendering in Google Meet video testing screen. The error in app events logs - show the crashing module ntdll.dll (C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll) for
DroidCamApp.exe.
It happens permanently in last two days. I tried to uninstall and reinstall new ntdll,

but uninstalling and installing in cmd is not possible, but manual replacement
did not changed nothing in this crash appearing, as well as new DroidCamApp PC
client installation and re-installation the same but latest 6.5.2 version.
I also changed app adb folder with latest adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll,
but no changes.
What could be the reason? What I can do? Maybe it is deeply connected with video
card obsolete issues in ntdll that is not resolvable.
I used such steps to set this video phone-pc interaction:
1) Connect Phone to PC;
2) Enable USB debugging in Android Developers Menu;
3) Open Droidapp on Android;
4) Open DroidApp PC client;
5) Setting usb option on PC client
6) Starting video;
After appearing this video could disappearing
for some time on PC client, then appear
again. But after launching Google Meet test
video, it hangs after several seconds and
cover lower part in grey of video screen.
And I cannot capture video for test.
I suppose that direct video connection in GM
in this way would be also intermittent
and closed quickly as I tested it also
for Zoom two days ago so the video screen
was also partly covered by grey and video stopped
there.
I tried first this official guide -Connect via USB (Android) -https://www.dev47apps.com/droidcam/connect/
where there is instruction to open pc client at first,
but it was more error-prone, with messages that
"check if app is ready and open" and "if the same ip"
as it also happened in another cases. And I noted that
"Allow USB Debugging" almost not appearing in case
I open android app first and randomly when I launch
PC client first, indeed month ago it happened to be.
But it seem the issue is not in the order of connecting
but in swift video disruption in Google Meet at least
and feeble video in PC client and subsequent crash
(due ntdll.dll) as it could disappear and reappear even until it.
What can I do and what could be the reason of it?

This sounds like a classic case of "DLL Hell", which has always been problem with Windows.

Help Micro SD card Capacity

Greater then 1tb already exists for awhile now, prior they were in Asian international markets just swap over to China or India eBay and aliviaba etc. Takes awhile but they're official brands and non name brand versions too at UT own risk

Yeh, fakes.

FYI I'm in China, and when I required a new large capacity micro-SD, I bought it directly form Samsung, and NOT Alibaba(and the 40,000 thieves), to be sure I was getting the real mccoy.

Happy New Year 2022

I have done something odd last evening, finished a box set of the t.v. episodes of Bob's Burgers in a sitting, I never ever do that, I was with my buddy sure, but still, I put in a disc and ejected it, and let it rest on forever, but for an odd reason when watching my family puppy, I sat there drunk my hot chocolate and was really tired after getting home around one in the morning. I slept until around eleven a.m.

m4p player

I purchased an audiobook from Apple and it is on my iPad. I don't need to convert it, just find a player than can open an M4P file. I can purchase audiobooks from a company who only does audiobooks, and the don't have DRM.
This is one of many reasons I really don't like Apple.

Microwave disappearing in puff of smoke

As an electronics technician, I can say that the information on GFCI here is correct. Resetting the GFCI should get most of those breakers working.

That last outlet may have tripped a breaker (or blown a fuse) in your breaker box, though. If you are lucky, there is a list or map inside the box that will give you an idea of which breaker to reset (also, some breakers have indicators to shoe they have tripped). Resetting a breaker is a matter of turning it off and then on again.

AS for repairing the microwave, as @puppykickr says, the magnetron and condensers can hold a nasty, heart-stopping charge for a long time, and there is not likely anything in there that you can repair/replace anyway.

Moto G Stylus (2021) - where's the stereo?

I totally agree. It's the same thing with vehicles. There should a rule that if it's not really a Cherokee, Dart, whatever any more it must be given a new name. Yeah, I'm sure they're running out of 'em. It definitely shows in some of the crazy monikers they've been giving these things. It'd be nice if that could serve as some kind of (dis)incentive in terms of screwing with the specs.
