  2. Windows 10, DVD drive and USB hard drive failing to work

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    As you are unable to detect the DVD/ CD drives after an Windows update, please be informed us the latest update being installed.

    I suggest you to uninstall the latest update and check if you are able to detect the drives.

    Steps:

    • Right click on the Start button from the desktop and select
      Programs and Features
      .
    • Locate the update, right click on it and select Uninstall.
    • Restart the device and check.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    Is this the HP 15r014tx in your system specs? If so, try the steps in this thread....

    It may be that your DVD drive has a hardware failure (as was suggested in that thread).
