    Windows 10 does not recognize optical drive.

    Just installed Windows 10. Optical drive is available on Device Manager and has been updated with latest software/firmware (and recognized as H drive by install package), but not recognized as a drive by Windows. I tried reg edit fix suggested on forums,
    but got syntax error each time? These posts were all from last year. Has coding changed or am I making some mistake entering it? Frustrated.

    WINDOWS 10 ANNIVERSARY UPDATE OPTICAL DISC DRIVE (CD/DVD) NOT WORKING

    Hi,

    We would like to know more about the issue, kindly clarify the following:

    • When you say not working, is your optical disk drive not being detected or not being read/recognized?
    • Is this the first time that this happened or has it happened before?
    • Did the issue appear just right after updating?
    For Windows 10 recovery options, visit this
    link    .

    You can check the
    Compatibility Troubleshooter     for Windows 10.

    Thank you.
