Windows 10: Blu-ray player and windows media player

I recently bought a blu ray player with a usb connector so I could play videos through my laptop as well. The file types say they are all Windows Media Player, however when I load up the video Windows Media Player gives me an error that says the windows media player might not support the file type or might not support the codec used to compress the file. Any ways to fix this?

How to play Blu-Rays

Thanks for the suggestion. Seems to be a good program.

 

Blu-Ray player not playing

I have a new build of a Windows 10 desktop. I am trying to play a blu-ray disc using VLC player. The region is set to Region 1 in the properties of the drive on device manager. VLC brings up a window stating "This Disc will not play due to the region code
setting of the player".

It is a region A blu-ray disc. In the properties, everything about the drive is referred to as CD or DVD and the region code has to be entered as a number, which is for DVD. I have tried uninstalling and restarting, and the driver that gets reloaded is HL-DT-ST
BD-RE WH14NS40.

I see no way to enter the region code in letter form which is the format for blu-ray.

Is there a way to change the 'device description' from CD-ROM Drive to Blu-Ray Drive?

The player is definitely a blu-ray player and plays discs that are region-free, but will not play a blu-ray disc for region A.
