Win10 does it have a DVD & CD player? Computer is Inspiron 3650 did work now after updates, neither works!

I purchased an Slim drive USB 3.0 and plug it in and it will open door to place disk in, but does not play?

DVD/CD Player not working


I have a Lenovo G505s Laptop with Windows 10 and a DVD/ CD Player that suddenly does not work. The computer tells me the drivers are OK. I have been into Device Manager and uninstalled and reinstalled both the DVD player and the associated controller without success. The DVD player appears to be working OK ( I can hear it working and the small power light comes on ) but for some reason the system does not recognise it . I am reluctant to get involved in registry changes ( suggested as a possible source of the problem ) as I am not too computer savvy.

 

CD/DVD Player/Burner Not working after Win10 Installation

How can I fix the cd/dvd player burner in my HP laptop ? Since installation of Windows 10 (was using Win7), the player will not work. any suggestions ? My understanding is that this is a very common problem with Win10 because there is no player for the cd
dvd now. I tried a suggestion to install a media player "VLC" but it still won't work, I just keep getting an Error message window when I hit play. The error message is "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///G:/' ".

Any suggestions ???

Thanks

 

CD/DVD Player not working

The CD/DVD player on my desktop pc, has become very unreliable, since updating to windows 10



Problem:

With a CD/DVD inserted into the player .

• 1% of the time it works correctly and play a CD without any problems.
  

• 99% of the time it does not acknowledge the disk, a green light flashes 6 or 7 times and then goes back to do nothing mode.

• If I try to start the CD directly in windows explorer, a dialog box appears instructing me to insert a disk. I know these disks to be working.

Troubleshooting carried out

• The device manager reports the device is working properly.
• Checked the drivers are up-to date,
• Uninstalled the drivers
• Scanned for hardware changes
• Uninstalled the hardware
• Rebooted several times
• Scanned with DeviceDiagnostic Troubleshooting Pack Cabinet (.diagcab)
• Checked all the cable connections
• Did a control panel troubleshoot and Reconfigure hardware (cd player worked when I did a restart, but only the once and then continued the error)
