VLC Media Player is not an option for Autoplay DVDs

I'm trying to work through 2 problems regarding playing DVD movies on my desktop PC. This is problem #1: When I put a DVD video in the optical drive and the DVD is recognized in Explorer it does not automatically play in VLC. Should be an easy settings fix - but it is not. Note: I can open VLC > go to Media menu > and Open Disc > and the disk will play just fine. It just won't Autoplay. My settings:

• Start > Settings > Devices > Autoplay (for all media and devices) > ON
• Start > Settings > Default Apps > Video Player > set to: VLC Media Player (it is an option here)
• Control Panel > Autoplay > DVDs > looking at any selection here > VLC is not an option to choose

I think I need to get VLC recognized in Control Panel > Autoplay > DVDs How can I do this?

 

VLC Media Player

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never had to do that before and have no desire to do it now. Note that I found a DVD player software (Player for DVD's Lite) that will play DVD's, even though I don't like it as much as VLC. So I'll live with that for
now.
