Windows 10: Formating CD

I get a message that Windows 10 cannot read the blank disc in the CD-Rom drive and says it is necessary to format the disc. The menus do not give a format option as they used to do. I've tried the regedit suggested and it did not correct the problem. I can play audio CD's and read data CD's. Can anyone give further suggestions to correct this?Herb T
