If you installed the Anniversary Update when it was first released, there's a good chance you can't downgrade any more. Unfortunately, with the Anniversary Update, Microsoft quietly changed the downgrade period from 30 days down to 10 days. If you have this problem, you can downgrade from the Anniversary Update to the previous version of Windows. Apparently no one on Microsoft's Windows team, Microsoft's Skype team, or Logitech noticed the problem during the entire Insider Preview process for the Anniversary Update. This means that doing something as simple as enabling HD video in Skype will cause your webcam's video to freeze.
Microsoft removed support for MJPEG and H264 streams, which many webcams-including the very popular Logitech C920 webcam-use. In the Anniversary Update, Microsoft only allows USB webcams to use YUY2 encoding.
