Windows 10 - Autoplay - Windows Media Player Not listed

I have Windows 10 loaded on my laptop. In the Autoplay screen, Windows Media Player is not listed as an option in the DVD and BlueRay sections but it is listed in the other sections. When I insert a disk, the autoplay option list pops up but does not
list WIndow Media Player as an option either. It only lists "Find a DVD option in app store" or "Take No action." What is frustrating is I have an older laptop that I loaded Windows 10 on and WIndows Media Player is listed in all the options. Any ideas?

Hi,

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

Please do let us know if you have installed all the pending updates on your device.

Also, check with the sound drivers as well.

I suggest you to check with the setting for AutoPlay and check if it helps.

Even if you have turned on the AutoPlay option, there might be some option chosen Choose AutoPlay defaults. I suggest you to check with those options.

Steps:

• Press Windows key, type AutoPlay and click on AutoPlay settings.
• To enable AutoPlay, move the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices button to On.
• Next you can choose and set your AutoPlay defaults.

For Removable drives, the following options are available from the drop-down menu:

• Take no action
• Open folder to view files
• Ask me every time
• Configure this drive for backup (File History)
• Configure storage settings (Settings).

For Memory Cards, the options available are:

• Play video files using alternate
  software
• Play using Windows Media Player
• Take no action
• Open folder to view files
• Ask me every time.

Set your options and exit.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
