    Missing Drivers after Windows Updates - Sound and DVD Drive


    Hi all,
    My time on Windows 10 has been good so far. But the latest round of Windows Updates has given me sound driver and CD/DVD drive driver issues.
    Please see images attached.

    I have a Samsung Series 3 laptop and I am in the UK. I have tried the Samsung Software update facility which doesn't show any driver updates. I have tried the Sound troubleshooter which told me to restart but still the issue persists.

    Many thanks.

    :)

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    what are the troubleshooting steps you have tried?

    I am sorry to know that DVD drive is missing on Windows 10. This issue usually arises due to outdated drivers. You may try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    I suggest you to run Hardware and Devices troubleshooter:

    To open the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run dialog box.
    • Type control in the Run dialog box, then press Enter.
    • In the Search box in Control Panel, type
      troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting.
    • Under the Hardware and Sound item, click Configure a device. If you are prompted to enter an administrator password or provide confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    If your problem is not solved, try the next resolution.

    Method 2

    Update or reinstall the driver:

    To update the driver, search for the driver on the device manufacturer's website, and then follow the installation instructions on the website.

    To reinstall the driver, follow these steps:

    • Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run dialog box.
    • Type devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click
      Allow
    • In Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the CD and DVD devices, and then click
      Uninstall.
    • When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click
      OK
      .
    • Restart the computer.
    After the computer restarts, the drivers will be automatically installed.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Neither of these recommendations worked. It would seem like you would have a fix for this problem. It worked fine with windows 7. Should I go back to 7
