    CD/DVD not showing on file explorer


    I noticed that on my W10 build, that the cd/dvd (Drive D: in my case) does not show on file explorer. However if I put a blank disk or a disk with data, it will show. This behavior is different than Win7, which always shows the cd/dvd drive. Is this a problem or feature?? *Smile

    I put a disk in the disk drive and nothing happens. I cannot figure out how to open the disk to see what's on it.

    Open File Explorer and double click your CD/DVD drive should show you the contents of the Disc.

    Right Click on the CD/DVD drive while in file explorer and choose Eject to open the drawer.

    In control panel/Autoplay you can set what happens or what doesn't happen when you put into that drive a CD/DVD disc.
