Windows 10: I can't burn photo files or any files from my computer to a DVD using Windows 10. HELP!!!

I can't burn photo files or any files from my computer to a DVD using Windows 10 NO 3rd-party program. I drag the files over to the DVD icon, and File Explorer says they are copied. But when I go to burn them to the disc, the Burn to Disc button under the Share tab is grayed out. This is really frustrating, and I see that a lot of other people are having this problem. I have wasted SO MANY BLANK DVD's that are now unuseable because of this problem. Has Microsoft come up with a fix for this yet??? Thank you!
