    DVD Drive shows as "Unknown device" in Device Manager

    It may be an issue with that particular drive as similar issues have been reported before such as

    here    .

    One thing left you could try is a "repair" install of Windows 10 which may correct a configuration issue:

    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

    As a general precaution back up any critical files prior to attempting a repair.

    windows 10 cd/dvd drivers problems

    I have had the same problem with the loss of the DVD Player. My Laptop is an ACER Aspire 5553 and the DVD drive which came with the laptop is a Hitachi-LG Super Multi DVD Drive - HL-DT-STDVDRAM Model GT31N.

    I cannot find any drivers from ACER or on the Hitachi/LG websites.

    The DVD drive works perfectly in Windows 8.1, but after installing Win 10, the DVD drive does not show. If I add the standard CD-ROM driver from within Win 10, the drive still does not work.

    I rolled back to Win 8.1 and the DVD drive worked perfectly. I reinstalled Win 10 and it does not work. The screen shot below is from Win 8.1. It has two drivers. Although, one looks the same as in Win 10, the one in Win 10 does not make the DVD drive
    work (or the eject button).

    Please create an update to fix this. I am not going to edit the registry.

    Microsoft should have ironed out these faults before releasing Windows 10.

    It is both time consuming and annoying to have try to work out what is going wrong, when a multi-million £/$ company should get it right first time.
