external dvd player not recognized by windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to external DVD player not being recognized by the PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below:

1. How are you connecting the external DVD player?
   
2. What is the error message that you receive when you connect the DVD player?
   
3. Have you tried connecting it to a different port?
   
4. What is the make and model of the PC?
   
5. Were you able to connect the DVD player previously to the PC?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try re-installing the Chipset drivers and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’
2. In Run dialog box, type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter.
3. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
4. Right click on the USB Root Hub and click on Uninstall.
5. Now check the box Delete the driver software for this device.
6. Click on Uninstall
7. Restart the PC.

In addition, you can try downloading the chipset drivers from the manufacturer of the PC and see if that helps.



Let us know how it goes.

Lenovo Ideapad will not display images or video (online and offline) 1080p or 4k resolution on external monitor.

Laptop is not sending HD or high resolution to the external monitor. I am using Windows 11, have replaced the Lenovo 110-15isk from an older one that was fine, to new Ideapad 1i N5030. Also replaced router/modem/HDMI and cables and had Internet come out twice, speed tests are always 110/11. Even took the Ideapad to test on a different Vizio 4k TV at a different location with same internet company but 500mbps instead of 100mbps. No high resolution images or video streaming again still. Any suggestions? Could it be something that a Roku set off? It all started when I tried a Roku for the 1st time, or maybe in the way the Lenovo laptop is communicating with the 4k external display? (also notice when a thumb drive is plugged in the laptop or the tv directly w/o internet, it plays 4k as 1080, 1080 as 720, 720 as 540, etc.) Any suggestions are much appreciated!
