Hi,

Welcome and thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

I realize this may be frustrating. Now that you have me with you, let me take care of this.

This might have occurred due to corrupted DVD\CD-ROM driver.

Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

Step 1: Let us try to run Hardware and Devices
troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Hardware and Devices troubleshooter checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

• Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Select View all on the top left corner.
• Click on Hardware and Devices.

Let us try to uninstall the DVD\CD-ROM driver from the Device Manager and install the latest driver for the device from the manufacturer website.

Step 2: Uninstall and Reinstall DVD\CD-ROM Driver.

  Device Manager.

  Right click on the driver select
  Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the computer.
