Just curious. Is I-Tunes installed now or ever previously Installed on this computer? It has a nasty habit of altering the CD-Rom/DVD device filters and screwing up the works. These are drive specific settings so an alternate DVD drive may work fine.

I-Cloud also had a nasty habit of rendering your Optical drives useless if it finds any " Unauthorized Media files ( IE: Peer to Peer downloads ) on your system. Apple tries to screw around with far too many things on PC's.

Don't know if it's still an issue on Win10. But it was on Win7 and previous MS OS's.

I'll see if I can find my Fix-It Tool.
