    CD/DVD drive won't play CDs & does not appear in This PC list in File Explorer

    Hello --

    The CD/DVD drive on my older PC with Windows 10 has stopped playing CDs, and the drive does not appear under This PC in File Explorer.

    - Yet Device Manager lists the drive and under Properties>General states "This device is working properly."

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Further details:

    - This is a reconditioned Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, running Windows 10 Pro

    - The drive is Matsushita DVD-RAM UJ8C2 with up-to-date Microsoft driver

    - Before it stopped playing and showing up in Explorer, some CDs were intermittently recognized within WMP. I thought this might be b/c of disc condition (borrowed from public library).

    DVD/CD'S Not Playing

    Dvd's/cd's are no longer playing on my ACER Aspire E15 laptop. I downloaded Windows 10 last year. I have not used my dvd drive since installing Windows 10. When I put a DVD in, the green light comes on and then goes off and nothing else happens. The
    DVD/CD drive shows on my computer but is not being recognized when I do a chkdsk for drive d (I assume that is my DVD/CD drive). It says there is no drive d.

    Can anyone provide any suggestions to fix this problem?
