    DVD Player


    Couple months ago I updated my OS from Windows 8.1 to 10. Yesterday I wanted to use my laptop's DVD player and I received "an unknown directory" error message and the DVD kept on ejecting. I am assuming that it is a DVD unit driver problem (Out-of-date Driver). Does anybody have any comments or suggestions?
    Thx.

    The Windows 10 DVD Player won't work.

    You are right. The thread is about the Windows DVD player not working.

    So, what solution has been provided that seems to clear up everyone's struggles with it since August 4th?

    Don't see any proposed solutions to making Windows DVD player work marked as "Helpful". Just responses saying the proposed solutions don't work.

    Those trying to get WIndows DVD player to work apparently don't have an alternate DVD player that they purchased, otherwise they wouldn't care that the Windows DVD player doesn't work. Ergo, they only care about the Windows DVD player because it's free
    with Windows 10. So, finding another free DVD player (VLC) is a solution to the free Windows DVD player not working.

    You have issues with the VLC player. If the choice is a free DVD player that doesn't have all the features you want, and a free DVD player doesn't work at all, then I would opt for the free DVD player that can't do all that I want. At least I can play
    my DVDs for free.

    DVD Player

    Do you have DVD player software for Windows 10?

    It was included in Windows 8, but not 10.

    Does the drive function with data DVDs or CDs?
