Windows 10 will not allow any region changes to the DVD driver

Hi Dig,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if region settings is done correctly.



I suggest you to follow the steps below to change the region settings from region 2 to region 4 ( Australian).

1. Press Windows Key + R Key.

2. Type “devmgmt.msc” without the quotes and hit on Enter Key.

3. Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the DVD drive for which you want to change region settings and then click
Properties.

4. On the DVD Region tab.

5. Under list of regions, scroll down the mouse to search for Australia from the list and click on it.

6. Then region 4 will be listed below, then click on Ok button.

Windows 10 will not allow any region changes to the DVD driver

Hi Dig,



Thank you for your reply with the current update on the issue.

To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• What is the make and model of the computer?

I recommend you to uninstall and reinstall the DVD driver in compatibility mode. After reinstalling, try to change the DVD region and check if it helps.



Step 1: I suggest you to uninstall the DVD/CD driver as provided in the previous post.

Step 2: I recommend you to download the DCD/CD driver from the computer manufacturer's website and then try to install the driver in compatibility mode.

1. Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘Properties’'.

2. Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the
computer and check if the issue persists.
