DVD player purchased but will not download and install

Just hung up the phone with Microsoft support. They were able to fix the issue, now I have Windows DVD player installed and can play DVDs successfully.

To resolve the issue follow these steps:

1. Go to Store app in Win 10. You can search for Store in Cortona as well.

2. Go to "my library" in the Store app.

3. Click on your profile picture on top right to find "my library".

4. Find Windows DVD Player in the list of apps in "my library".

5. Try to install Windows DVD Player from "my library".

Hope that helps.

 

Windows DVD Player installed in Windows 10 but not recognizing DVD to play

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

The DVD Player app only supports the following:

a. DVDs from a file backup is not supported, the app currently only plays DVD movies on optical discs.

b. The App will only play DVD's not Blu-ray discs.

If you satisfy both the categories, I would suggest you follow the steps below and see if it helps:

Update DVD/CD-ROM drives from Device Manager.

• 
  Press Windows key + R key. Type "devmgmt.msc" and click Enter.
  
• 
  Expand the DVD/CD-ROM drives.
  
• 
  Double-click on the DVD/CD-ROM drive.
  
• 
  In Properties, go to Drivers Tab and click on Update.
  

If this does not work you might have to Uninstall and then reinstall your drivers in compatibility mode.

Follow the steps to uninstall and reinstall the driver.

• 
  Press Windows key + R key. Type "devmgmt.msc" and click Enter.
  
• 
  Expand the DVD/CD-ROM drives.
  
• 
  Double-click on the DVD/CD-ROM drive.
  
• 
  In Properties, go to Drivers Tab and click on Uninstall.
  
• 
  Reinstall your audio driver from Manufacturer's Website in Compatibility mode.
  
• 
  Restart your system
  

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.
