    CD plays one disc incorrectly

    For us to isolate the issue, we would like to clarify if you were referring to another computer when you said
    "The CD plays fine elsewhere so it is OK." on your first post. If so, is it both running Windows 10 version?

    To identify the exact reason why the issue is happening, we suggest playing the disc manually using the steps below:

    • Type File Explorer on Cortana/Search bar, then click it.
    • On the File Explorer window, click This PC.
    • Right-click on the CD drive then, click Open.

    • The music files will show up, choose a certain music to play.

    Let us know if the music will respond accordingly.

    My PC no longer plays my CDs

    Toshiba cd/dvd no longer open and play music or video after updating f

    Hello,

    I do have a Toshiba laptop no longer playing music or movie after updating from Windows 8 to 10 online. In my computer, I see the icon of the CD/DVD but when I put a commercial cd music or video, different one, I do have the same popup windows asking to insert the CD. I am not able to view the content at all of all cd I tried.

    Searching the net, common solution were provided with no success.

    In device manager I uninstall the driver of the cd, and ide controller, rebooted. The new driver did reinstalled but still unable to view the content of the cd.

    in control panel, there is an application who search problem with your devices. No error found

    On the internet it ask to use and application call fix it, but it's not free.

    On the internet it suggest to re edit the registry. The details where to go online does not match what I have on my laptop.

    I don't think resetting windows 10 to default will work, because cd never played at all in windows 10.
    Most solution on the internet including the manufacturer lead to the following steps below. I had no luck,

    Can someone help me out?
