Windows 10: Issue With New Drive Listing - DVD RW Drive (F:) (Powered Off) in W10.

Hello. First, nice to meet you all! I am a computer novice with wisdom in computing without technical education in programming. I guess this is the best way to put it. I resist social media for the most part unless necessary. I do not like cloud services and believe in client-side data saving versus server-side data saving online.

Okay, my issue to the reason why I am here. I have an issue. I have upgraded from Windows 7 Pro x64 to Windows 10 Pro x64 using Windows Media Creation Tool SAC Version1903 and then upgraded to Version 1909 all over a month ago on the same Lenovo T510. After the upgrade, I added a new addition retro-like programs like Open-Shell Menu to give Windows 10 a more Windows 7 comfortable appearance. Now, an issue after the upgrade is I have a new drive listed in "This PC" named "DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off)" that I never had before the upgrade to Windows 10. I do have an optical drive listed as a separate drive as "DVD RW Drive (F. If I right-click on the "DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off)", I get a small superimposed window listing "1, 2, 3" vertically listed followed by a horizontal line and then under that stating,"Create shortcut". If I double click on the "DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off)", I get a window pop-up stating, "RunDLL There was a problem stating starting C:\Program Files (x86)\LenovPowerMgr\PWMTR64V.dll". After the upgrade, I have uninstalled all the Lenovo drivers and software on the Lenovo T510 PC. In my program listing, there is no longer any listing for Lenovo Power Manager as I used Revo Uninstaller and did an "Advanced" or complete removal of all Lenovo drivers and software from this laptop PC, if that is what you are asking yourself? So I have no idea what this means and what is going on? I would like to get rid of and remove this drive under "This PC" called the "DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off)". How do I do that? I need precise and detailed steps, please. I have added 3 PDF images to this posting for your help.

Please reply with answers and solutions to this issue. Thank you very much!

Issue With New Drive Listing - DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off) in W10.

Hello again. Thank you both for replying.

Yes, I have been to my Windows 10 Device Manager and I checked "DVD/CD-ROM drives" and nothing wrong there. All running fine. I even checked out "Disk drives" and again nothing wrong there either. I have even been to Windows 10 listing of "Apps & Features" and found nothing related to Lenovo. The only Lenovo website installed drivers and software I had left in Windows 10 after I upgraded from Windows 7 were a few "Intel" named drivers and software figuring they are necessary with the CPU, memory, and graphics, and wireless hardware. I figured those were necessary for the proper functioning of the PC. I guess I could have uninstalled them too like the Lenovo products, and let Microsoft Windows OS search find them to fill in on a reboot instead.

Oh, to answer one of your questions, I do see 2 drive F listings listing for my DVD RW Drive under "This PC". (1) The "normal correct" drive as "DVD RW Drive (F and (2) the other "error wrongly listed" drive as "DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off)". I added a couple of more photos for your help I just discussed above.

Sorry about the image download links in my OP. Anyways, I have reposted those 3 pdf files as jpg photos in my first OP as I thought the link I click on to compose the OP was to add the actual photo to my OP. I did not realize it would be a downloadable link set in my OP. I see Brink's instructions on how to leave an image, and I see it is a different button to use to just that when you. Thanks! I see I also had to convert the pdf files to jpg files as Brink's instructions posting link to a message only allows for jpg image files and not pdf files. I added a couple more photos for your help I just discussed above too.

Any more ideas? Thank you!

@ dalchina:

Hello! Nice to meet you!

Okay, to answer your question, "If so, try uninstalling it there, making sure you choose the option to delete the driver.", I did that and rebooted my Windows 10. I did that and it still shows the same issue as I explained my OP. So the issue seems to run deep. Not sure how to remove that second driver for F: named "DVD RW Drive (F (Powered Off)"? Please reply woth other possible solutions. Thank you!

Also please include a screenshot of your Device Manager showing any info about the DVD drive - expand and post more than one screenshot as necessary.





Here I clicked on the icon above 'Man' then Browse - to the image I'd captured, then Upload...

In Win 7 did you have any programs providing virtual drives? E.g. Poweriso, Magiciso etc etc
