Windows 10: Windows 10 DVD player

I have just purchased DVD player for windows 10. The player has worked for a few minutes with lots of flickering and has now stopped working altogether. My external DVD player is having issues as well now.

Big disappointment.... Can you help?

I've tried the on-line help advises, but they are not getting me anywhere.

If this cannot be fixed I demand a full refund.
