Windows 10: Optiarc BD5600s Blu ray player

I have a HP touchsmart 600 pc which I have just upgraded to Windows 10 pro.

Unfortunately my Otiarc BD5600s blu ray is no longer recognised by the computer.

What do I need to do to get it recognised again.

Thanks for the suggestion. Seems to be a good program.

 

Blu-Ray player not playing

I have a new build of a Windows 10 desktop. I am trying to play a blu-ray disc using VLC player. The region is set to Region 1 in the properties of the drive on device manager. VLC brings up a window stating "This Disc will not play due to the region code
setting of the player".

It is a region A blu-ray disc. In the properties, everything about the drive is referred to as CD or DVD and the region code has to be entered as a number, which is for DVD. I have tried uninstalling and restarting, and the driver that gets reloaded is HL-DT-ST
BD-RE WH14NS40.

I see no way to enter the region code in letter form which is the format for blu-ray.

Is there a way to change the 'device description' from CD-ROM Drive to Blu-Ray Drive?

The player is definitely a blu-ray player and plays discs that are region-free, but will not play a blu-ray disc for region A.

I've been using it on my desktop for quite awhile now and find it to be a very good Blu-ray player.
