Windows 10: Upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7, Toshiba DVD player not working, is an update...

Hello,


I have a Satellite A665D that I upgraded from 7 to 10 64 bit. Like everyone else, my DVD player no longer plays. Is there an update that will fix this?


The Toshiba DVD Player version I have is 3.01.2.12-AU

I do not see a newer version for this but it may be the way I am looking.


Thank you

:)

 

Watching DVD Movies on Windows 10 (or not)

I doubt a huge deal to most, but I hate it when they do that! *Shadedshun :shadedshu:

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

Windows 10 free upgrade kills Toshiba Blu-ray player

Toshiba supplies a DVD Player on models with a DVD drive, and I presume it does for Blu-ray as well.

Mine still works after the Windows 10 update and indeed Toshiba provided it as an update for Windows 10 compatible Laptops back then during the free offer.
It should still be listed for your Laptop. However that model is not listed as a supported one for Windows 10.

The drivers for Optical drive as such are generic and part of Windows 10, very unlikely to be a Firmware update.

Windows 10 itself no longer supplies the codecs required for playing DVDs, you have to install another Player. You can try VLC Player.
For Toshiba drivers:
Support – Business PCs - dynabook
They still list the Video Player for Windows 8.1 for that model, so you could try applying the Windows 8.1 compatibility mode on the install, dates from July 2017.

Post #5, is the correct website, Toshiba have passed support for legacy Laptops to them. For the Video Player(DVD ?) put in keyword "video".
Don't see the Blu-Ray.

Within the downloaded ZIP file there is another self extracting file which you will have to expand and save somewhere and then go thru the kerfuffle of applying the compatibility mode.
