Windows 10: CD Drive will not read disks after the Windows 10 update

I have had windows 10 installed on my computer for quite some time and all hardware and devices were working fine. After the latest windows 10 update my DVD Drive is no longer reading CD's . Every time I put in cd in the Drive it ejects it out and a pop up states to insert disk in drive. I have tried various Music CD'S and Movie DVD'S as well as data CD'S and I keep getting the same problem

Disk bloat in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Is it my imagination, or does the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update consume an additional 20-30GB of disk space over the previous Creators Update release? Unfortunately, I didn't log my disk usage before the upgrade, but now my C: drive has 56GB of stuff, and I know it wasn't anywhere near that full before. I've run "Disk Cleanup -> Clean up system files" and selected everything on the list, including remove previous version of Windows. I also emptied my Recycle Bin, my Temp folder, \Windows\Temp folder, and \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. Finally, I ran Wise Disk Cleaner to delete assorted application garbage.

Has anyone else noticed the bloat in Fall Creators Update?
