Windows 10: Internal DVD driver on PC no longer works

Hello. I've tried best to make to work, Slimtype external driver reconnecting back and fourth while trying to make an ISO file from the disc. So, I want to bring back the internet DVD driver from my computer "ASUS DRW-24F1ST" to work again but somehow worked virtually instead of fixing manually. I've searched many YouTube videos and doesn't make any sense..Update: I just got downgrade the Slimtype and it works perfectly with no flaws!So what about my internal drive "ASUS DRW-24F1ST" to work back?

No longer recognizes CD/DVD drive


Since receiving the Win 10 Home upgrade my computer no longer recognizes the DVD drive. It doesn't show in Device Manger or in the device list in This PC although it does spin up if you insert media into it. I've tried all the suggested remedies except messing with the registry and nothing works. This is one of several problems I've had with device drivers since the upgrade.

Windows 10 Home 64 bit
AMD FX-4130 3.80Ghz
8Gb Installed memory

 

DVD player stopped working and will no longer play discs on Windows 10.
