    As the title says, I need help finding the proper registry key to disable CD/Floppy Access for Locally Logged on Users under Security Options (Local Security Policies). I'm currently using the "reg add" command in a batch file, but I am unable to change the setting from "Not Defined." Any help finding a more specific key than (MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AllocateCDRoms) that would work with the "reg add" command, and the parameters that would allow me to change the setting will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    :)

  3. Windows 10 and floppy

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that the Floppy drive is not working after you upgraded to Windows 10.

    Before proceeding with any further troubleshooting, I would suggest you to check if the mentioned drive is set as hidden. Follow the below path.


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    • In Command prompt type gpedit and press enter.

    • Follow the path User Configuration >
      A
      dministrative templates > Windows Components > File Explorer > Check the State for
      hide specified drives in my computer is set to
      No.
    Now, follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Method 1

    Follow these steps to run the Windows in built troubleshooter:

    a) Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.

    b) Click on Troubleshooting
    tab.

    c) Click on view all option on the upper left corner.

    d) Select the Hardware and Device
    options from the list.

    e) Click Next to run the Hardware and Device
    Troubleshooter.

    Method 2

    Check if the Floppy drive is shown in “Disk Management” and if a drive letter is assigned to it

    Please open the Disk Management and check if a drive letter is assigned to the floppy drive. Please follow these steps, to access the Disk Management:

    a) Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard and select “Disk Management” from that list.

    b) You should be able to see the hard disk partitions and the removable drives connected to the computer in the Disk Management.

    c) Check if you have any drives without any drive letters assigned to it.

    d) If you have floppy drive listed there without a drive letter, then you may assign the drive letter (A) to it and check if that is shown in “This
    PC
    ” now and then try to access it from the “Windows Explorer”.

    Method 3

    In case if the Floppy drive doesn't show in the Disk Management, check if the Floppy drive is listed in the Device Manager.

    Refer to the below Microsoft Help Article written by one of our MVPs,
    Andre Da Costa
    .
