    DVD RW reads CD but not DVD disc

    (1) My DVD RW Drive fails to read DVD except CD disc after updating to the latest Win 10 just 4 days ago.

    It had been fine from brand new using Win 8.0.

    (2) My SD Drive fails to even detect the card after updating to the latest Win 8.1/10.

    It had been fine from brand new using Win 8.0.

    (3) My DVD RW Drive fails to write DVD except CD disc after updating to Win-XP Service Pack-3.

    It had been fine from brand new using Win-XP Service Pack-1.

    I'm wondering why Microsoft Windows Updates always cause these problems?

    If so, why Microsoft did not include the drivers necessary to prevent this type of problem?

    My DVD-RW player is not reading when a disc is inserted. I'm consistently told to insert the disc.

    My Computer Cannot Read the DVD+RW Disc

    DVD RW reads CD but not DVD disc

    Hi Amit Sunar,

    (Case-1). My laptop (workstation) is DELL (PRECISION): M6700; originally with Win 8.0 then upgraded to 8.1, 10 and now latest Windows 10.

    Under the registry, I cannot find LowerFilter and UpperFilter.

    From the Device Manager, I cannot find IDE/ATAPI Controllers either.

    Upgrading to Win 8.1 caused my SD Drive unable to read SD card.

    Upgrading to latest Win 10 caused my DVD RW Drive unable to read DVD disc.

    ****So far, I’ve done everything possibly can to fix the problem; all the methods suggested by experts have been tried but none of them worked. Thus, can Microsoft provide me with the driver so that I can reinstall. Because I
    suspect that my current driver for the DVD RW Drive may have already been corrupted during the updating. Therefore, I made several uninstall and reinstall still wound not solve the problem. Why, because if the drive has been corrupted where the reinstallation
    after uninstallation would be the same ----- the reinstallation would just copy from the existing corrupted driver files.

    (Case-2). My laptop is DELL (INSPIRON): 5150; originally with Win-XP then upgraded to Service Pack-2 finally Service Pack-3.

    Upgrading to Win-XP Service Pack-2 caused my DVD RW Drive unstable (sometimes wrote but other times did not write DVD disc).

    Upgrading to Win-XP Service Pack-3 caused my DVD RW Drive completely unable to write DVD disc but still able to read DVD/CD disc.

    [table][tr][td]Hi ,[/td][/tr][tr][td]Amit_Sun has replied to your question DVD RW reads CD but not DVD disc inMicrosoft Community.[/td][/tr][tr][td]Hi,Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums. May I know the make and the model number of your system?This issue could be caused by driver failure or incompatible driver with Windows 10.Below are few of the troubleshooting steps you can try to further eliminate the root cause of the issue.Method 1: Uninstall DVD drivers.I suggest you to Uninstall DVD/CD-RomDrivers from Device manager after that reboot the computer once and check.Method 2: Registry changes.Disclaimer: The registry is a database in Windows that contains important information about system hardware, installed programs and settings, and profiles of each of the user accounts on the computer. Windows often reads and updates the information in the registry.Normally, software programs make registry changes automatically. You should not make unnecessary changes to the registry. Changing registry files incorrectly can cause Windows to stop working or make Windows report the wrong information.Before making any registry changes, I suggest you toback up your registry first.1. PressWindows + R key on your keyboard together.2. Type inregedit and hit enter.3. Navigate toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}4. Search forUpper Filters and Lower Filters keys from the right pane and delete both of the key.5. Reboot the computer and check.If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.Hope it helps.Amit SunarMicrosoft Community – Moderator[/td][/tr][tr][td][table][tr][td]Post a reply[/td][/tr][/table]
