    Blu Ray Drives no longer recognize any media


    I installed a new motherboard and now both my optical drives no longer recognize any form of media. I have uninstalled both drives and reinstalled. They show up in device manager but do not work. They are Asus BW-12B1ST & Asus DRW-2014L1T. Any ideas? Thanks.

    :)

    Blu Ray Media no longer detected

    Hello,

    I upgraded to Windows 10 on several of my PCs from Windows 8 and 7. I have just realized (months after the upgrade), that no Blu Ray disks are readable with any of my PCs. I have tried the drives that came with the machines, and a USB combo drive that
    can read Blu Rays, and none of them will detect Blu Ray discs when inserted. If I connect the USB drive to machines with Windows 7 and 8, and they read the media without a problem. I have tried several Blu Rays, and the same deal, on the W7 machine it works,
    but not on my Windows 10 PCs.

    All of the drives read DVDs, and CDs without an issue.

    I have seen people suggest that you will need a third party application to read a Blu Ray, but if the drive does not recognize that a disk has been inserted, then no third party software will read the disk.

    I have reached out to the hardware manufacturer, and they have instructed me to contact Microsoft support as they deem this to be a operating system issue, and not a hardware issue, since the drives all work before the upgrades. If I try looking for a new
    driver, the Windows always denominates the drives as CD-Rom drives.

    Can anyone help out with this issue?

    Blu Ray Media no longer detected

    Have you attempted to look if Device Manager lists your drive as CD, DVD or Blu-Ray?

    Is it simply that you need to install the correct drivers from the manufacturers?

    Or uninstall the CD/DVD drivers then restart and see if Windows installs the correct drivers.

    Regards,

    Davy
