Windows 10: cd burning

Hello, anybody out there that can help? I have an asus laptop and I have just bought an external cd/dvd player/burner as my main objective with this hardware is to burn WAV files to a CD-R. I am on Windows 10. In WMP I have gone through the burn process- and WMP says that the burning process completes and the CD drive whirrs up to speed etc but when I eject the CD it is not hot as no burning has actually taken place even though WMP says it has done so. Yes, I am putting blank CD-Rs in and I have also tried several other burning software apps with the same result. The drive is not faulty; it will play CDs, DVDs and install software a game on DVD ROM. Why do all the media softwares that I have used, including WMP, say that a burn has been completed but no actual burn has taken place?

Any answers or advice would be much appreciated.

PS the same thing has happened to me on a PC in the public library so I am pretty sure it is not my laptop or external drive that is the issue, it must be something to do with Windows 10 OS??

Many thanks to anyone who replies.

:)

Burning photos to a CD Disc

Hi Jimmy,

We suggest that you use Windows Media Player to burn the images. Please follow the steps below:

• Open Windows Media Player.
• In the Player Library > Burn tab > select
  Burn options.
• Choose Audio CD or Data CD or DVD.
• Insert a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your PC has more than one CD or DVD drive)
• Search for the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the disc, and then drag them to the list pane (on the right side of the Player Library) to create a burn list.
• When you're finished with the list, select Start burn.

Note: If necessary, click the Clear list button to remove all items from the previous burn list.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Burning on a CD

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As you burn an audio CD, Windows Media Player makes temporary copies of the WMA and MP3 files in your burn list, converts the copies to another format (known as PCM), and then saves the converted copies to the disc. Here's
