I have two DVD/CD drives ones showing in the devices and drives the other isn't , they both worked before I done the upgrade .

would really appreciate some help please
 
Whenever I get a missing optical drive the first thing I try is a different power connector. Also worth swapping out the data cable.

Is it showing in the BIOS/UEFI?
 
Can you use the DVD/CD DRIVES?

On my one it doesn’t show until I need it

If you’re not sure what BIOS means it’s not advisable to go there

This must be a common problem, my stepdad has now lost his dvd drive after upgrading. It shows as a microsoft virtual device! Was working fine on 7 but not in 10. Tried to make it install drivers from windows.old/system32 drivers and inf but says best driver is installed.

Unfortunately he has trouble with left click/right click and i have spent too much time on skype going nowhere.

Any ideas, this is something he uses daily when its working?
 
I know the link is not win 10 but its all the same principle

Thanks.

Pretty much done all of them, there is no yellow icon as it thinks its ok.
The 8.1 fix it done nothing, just disappears off the screen when you click it.
Tried a few registery things as well.

Looks like its going to be a go round there for half a day jobbie.
