    Hi Richard,

    There are several factors that can cause your external drive to not read DVDs even though the system is recognizing the device. This could be caused by a driver that needs to updated or corrupted files. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions
    below:

    • Just to confirm, the device that is not working properly is a external DVD optical drive?
    • Were there any recent changes or updates installed on your computer?
    • Have you tried to plug the external drive to a different port on your computer?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that your run the built in troubleshooter in Windows 10. Kindly refer to the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” in the top left corner.
    • This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on
      Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

    Hi Ren,

    Why you're experiencing this kind of issue can be due to a variety of reasons.

    Having said that, please provide the following for us to be able to learn more about your concern:

    • Have you tried accessing the same external hard drive on a different Windows 10 PC? If yes, what is the result?
    • Have you tried plugging a different external hard drive or other external drives like flash drive and SD card? If yes, did you get the same result?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps you've already done?

    In the meantime, running the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter finds and repairs problems with your devices and hardware. Here's how to run the
    Hardware and Devices troubleshooter:

    • Right-click the Start icon, then select Control Panel.
    • Choose the Large icons option from the View by drop down list found on the upper-right part of the Control Panel window.
    • Locate then select Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all from the left pane.
    • Locate and click Hardware and Devices to run the troubleshooter then follow the next steps.

    Let us know the result of the troubleshooter.

    Regards.
