The Windows 10 DVD Player won't work.

Hi Guru:

My Windows DVD Player for Windows 10 doesn't work.

I pressed the Windows Logo +X, clicked on "Device Manager" from the list.

I could find NO "Device Drivers" in the device list to right click on.

Also, you say, in step 2, to go to the manufacturer's website. This is the Windows DVD player for Windows 10 I am having trouble with. Isn't the manufacturer "Microsoft"? I am assuming your response to Jerry refers to "manufacturer's website" because
Jerry doesn't specify that it is the Windows DVD player he is talking about (and maybe he isn't).
