Windows 10: LG external USB connection dvd blu-ray drive no longer recognized, detected, etc. when I...

This is going to be a lot of info but if you think you can help please take the time to read it or at least skim through it.I bought the LG BP60NB10 Slim Portable Blu-ray / DVD Writer about 6 months ago and used it a few times to get data off of some old dvds. I put it back in the box for storage and today I got it out and tried to use it. However, when I connect it to my laptop all that happens is I get one of those computer systems "beeps" which occur whenever something gets plugged into a USB port. So it is trying to recognize it but nothing happens, the drive doesn't show up in device mana

Blu Ray Media no longer detected

Hello,

I upgraded to Windows 10 on several of my PCs from Windows 8 and 7. I have just realized (months after the upgrade), that no Blu Ray disks are readable with any of my PCs. I have tried the drives that came with the machines, and a USB combo drive that
can read Blu Rays, and none of them will detect Blu Ray discs when inserted. If I connect the USB drive to machines with Windows 7 and 8, and they read the media without a problem. I have tried several Blu Rays, and the same deal, on the W7 machine it works,
but not on my Windows 10 PCs.

All of the drives read DVDs, and CDs without an issue.

I have seen people suggest that you will need a third party application to read a Blu Ray, but if the drive does not recognize that a disk has been inserted, then no third party software will read the disk.

I have reached out to the hardware manufacturer, and they have instructed me to contact Microsoft support as they deem this to be a operating system issue, and not a hardware issue, since the drives all work before the upgrades. If I try looking for a new
driver, the Windows always denominates the drives as CD-Rom drives.

Can anyone help out with this issue?

 

Issues with ASUS DVD & LG Blu-ray players not working in Windows 10?

Windows 10 will not recognize the actual ASUS DVD & LG Blu-ray players installed in my PC? This issue also occurred in Windows 7.

I've followed suggestions for reg fixes and Windows fixes only for them to work temporally with the players eventually being lost to Windows again.

When I do get Windows to find the players the DVD player works on and off and the Blu-ray player won't play Blu-ray discs?

It's funny my computer won't start without a Windows 10 instillation DVD (made when Windows 10 first came out) in the Blu-ray player bay yet Windows 10 can't find the player when my compute is on?

Any suggestions to fix this permanently?

Thanks,

John

PS LG doesn't offer any drivers for their player either.

 

Optical drives in both Windows 10 computers recognize Blu-Ray Disks, but not DVDs and CDs

As I suddenly have the exact same issue with both my desktop and laptop, I have to believe the trouble lies in a recent Windows 10 update.

I have an internal Blu-Ray burner in my laptop and an external Blu-Ray burner connected to my desktop. Both drives read and write Blu-Ray movies, and Blu-Ray Roms, but no longer recognize DVDs or CDs of any kind, blank or recorded.

What could possibly be going on? Incidentally, the Windows 10 driver cdrom.sys is dated 6/21/2006. That is considerably older than the drives!

I have tried uninstalling the devices and rebooting several times with no change.
