    Can't Play BluRay Disks?


    I can no longer play BluRay disks following my recent upgrade to Windows 10 - I've tried playing commercial BluRay discs and recorded disks from my Panasonic BluRay TV recorder.

    The BluRay disks used to play fine on my PC but now I've upgraded to Windows 10 nothing will play the disk or .m2ts file - I've tried Nero BluRay Player, VLC, Films & TV and Media Player.

    The BluRay disks play fine in my 2 dedicated BluRay players so the disks are OK. Has Windows 10 done something to trash the codecs for BluRay playback and how do I check and solve the issue? Perhaps I should uninstall/reinstall Nero 2015 which I use for BluRay playback?

    :)

    Bluray drive not working after installing Windows 10

    I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. A few years ago, I installed Windows 10. One thing I didn't do was to check that all the software and drives were still working. I recently tried to play a Bluray disc in the bluray drive that came standard when I purchased
    the laptop. The drive plays regular dvds and cd. It rips cds correctly. It even recognizes the bluray disc and displays the correct title in file explorer. However, it cannot play the bluray dvd.

    Is this a drive or driver issue? I would assume it should be a simple fix, as all other functions of the drive are working properly... I just can't get the bluray movie to play.

    Can't Play BluRay Disks?

    Update: Installing the free Leawo Bluray player restored my Bluray playback capability - see my post 21 at
    anyone heard of this blu-ray software Leawo player

    The problem was probably an incompatibility between my Nero2015 BluRay player and Windows 10 which it seems is another example of porr software engineering from Nero. If Leawo can provide a decent working Bluray player for free, why can't Nero?
