  1. CD-ROM missing after Windows 10 update


    Hi,


    I think this problem had described by many people every year.

    In my case CD-ROM was missing or inactive in hidden devices in Device Manager.

    But after the recent update to 1903 version it becomes active and working again. Unfortunately, after the first system reboot everything stopped working again. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?


    I have tried all possible ways with registry editing and uninstalling of CD-ROM/SATA devices.


    Best regards,


    Volodymyr

    :)
