Windows 10: Where is the dvd player showing in Windows 10 settings?

Hello,


Windows 10 just did a major update on my computer. Today I need to look up at a CD ROM (unrelated to the update) and... after a very quick window asking me what I want to do with it, I am left with no access anywhere to view the CD. In the past, I could easily find the "D" drive along my C drive... Can't find any of these in the new Settings display.


Will appreciate all helping tips... Please note that I am not a very savvy tech user!


Thanks,


Catleap

windows dvd player in my HP laptop (windowas 10) has stopped working

I did Method 1 followed by Method 2. In Method 2 & step 2, I uninstalled the DVD player app.

However, now the Windows store wants me to pay $14.99 for the Windows 10 version of the DVD player app.

HELP! .... I'm now without the Windows 10 DVD player app and I have no intention of paying $14.99 for something that I was told to delete by Microsoft Help.

Method 2.

I suggest you to uninstall/reinstall the DVD player app and check if this helps.

• 
  Go to settings and click on System.
  
• 
  Click on App & features, locate for the DVD player app, click on it and uninstall it.
  

Note: You can install it back again from Windows store.
