Re-check USB camera/disable built-in camera on app/service startup preferably before login screen #15

Hi. I have two cameras with IR: zepherys laptop and brio. When i was using laptop separately - i needed my built-in camera to be enabled (as expected), but when i connected USB camera and login screen was shown after hibernation - the built-in camera was active for hello login, not the USB one. After opening the app and pressing Win+L - the built-in camera was active. And after pressing Re-check USB camera app menu item and Win+L - the USB camera was active (as expected). All this time Run as service checkbox was checked in the app settings. So i guess the app service should re-check USB camera on its startup and if one is present - forcedly disable the build-in and service should be high priority or something. Windows 11 23H2, 1.6.0. Thank you.

Is your issue is re-check when the laptop is resumed? If so, could you try Ver 1.6.1 and see what happens?

Yes, it's on the laptop. It's reproducible occasionally. Ok. i'll update and i'll watch what happens.

Updated to 1.6.1. Saw just once that built-in camera was used first on lock screen, then after error in face recognition and after pressing Hello Face button on the same lock screen once again - the USB camera was used.
