    DVD region on media player with DVD driver and windows DVD player

    Hi Keith

    Windows Media Player doesn't even have DVD Playback support.

    Try doing it through Device Manager

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Click "DVD/CD-ROM drives" to view a list of your installed disk drives.

    Right-click your DVD drive and click "Properties" to open its Properties dialog box. Click the box's "DVD Region" tab to open a list of countries.

    Scroll to and select "United States" in the countries list and then click "OK" to change your drive's region, enabling Windows Media Player to play Region One DVDs.

    Change region of laptop dvd player

    As stated, if you change to Region 2, you will not be able to play any Region 1 USA movies. After you watch your region 2 movies and change it back to Region 1 you will only have 3 more changes before it locks on the last one. You can purchase a Region Free DVD player I believe.

    DVD doesn’t play in Windows DVD Player

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Ideally, the Windows DVD Player will play movies that are on optical discs. However, we will need the details requested below:



    • Could you please provide more clarity on “will not play my DVD home movies”?
    • What is the complete error message you receive?


    We would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

    Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store     and see if that helps.



    You may want to refer the
    Windows DVD player FAQ    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,
