  1. DVD drive thinks it’s a CD drive


    I know this has been discussed before but none of those answers have helped me.I have an internal TSSTcorp dvd drive. Windows 10 22H2 is giving it CD-ROM drivers and it won’t recognise DVDs. I have tried all the suggestions on the internet to no avail. I have tried a replacement drive to no avail. I have tried disconnecting the data and power cables and rebooting, shutting down, reconnecting and rebooting to no avail. I have tried devmgmt to uninstall, reboot to no avail.After some more digging here is what I have found so far:ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard lists the drive model name correctly but

    CD/DVD drive is not correctly displayed

    All the resolutions listed under Method 1 apply to the cases when CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs. Fortunately, my drive is recognized by Windows and other programs. I tried all the step-by-step resolutions listed, but did not
    work. For some reason, my CD/DVD drive icon is not the right icon for the drive, and is for compact flash. Any idea?

    I also reset my BIOS settings back to factory reset, but it did not help.

    CD drive error

    1) Close all open programs
    2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
    3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    CurrentControlSet
    Control
    Class
    {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

    UpperFilters
    LowerFilters
    UpperFilters.bak
    LowerFilters.bak
    5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
    6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
    7) Reboot your computer
    8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.

    And it likely has something to do with the emulated drive you have listed there.
