External DVD/RW not recognized withWindows 10

Hi Jenny,

 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



This circumstance can occur if the device hardware fails or if the device driver fails.



I suggest you to uninstall the Universal Serial Bus Controller
associated with the external DVD/RW (Cnm) and reinstall it from the manufacturer’s website and check if it helps.



To uninstall the drivers from device manager follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device Manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
• Find the Cnm DVD/RW drive.
• Right click on the driver and select Uninstall.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.



Thank you.

 

DVD Drive not Reading DVD+RW or DVD+R DL disks

My DVD drive (F) will not write on a
DVD+RW disk or a DVD+R DL disk. I have no problem using regular DVD's. (only RW & DL). I've researched online and I uninstalled the driver as per the instructions and restarted my computer but the problem
wasn't fixed. Any suggestions? Thanks
