Windows 10: dvd does not playback

Hi my dvd player will not playback it sent me an error code

What HTPC software for BR playback?

If you want the playback to be in 3D I can suggest Cyperlink Power DVD. That is great for it.

 

DVD playback after Windows 10 install

I am unable to play any DVD's since my Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7. I followed all the steps I found here and it looks like the required update

KB3081704 was completed which says that after that update the DVD playback will automatically be installed. Well, it wasn't. It's not listed anywhere and when I try to play a DVD it says I need a media playback app. Why do I need to take up more space
to just play a simple DVD? Do I have to go back to Windows 7?
