    Windows Media Player doesn’t want to play CDs and DVDs


    I have a problem with playing my CDs and DVDs on the Asus computer running Windows 10. The Windows Media Player doesn’t want to play on this laptop but it worked fine on my old HP laptop with Windows XP. Each time I try to start CD or DVD the pop-up shows up with a message that Windows Media Player cannot download information for this CD

    :)
