    Hi, a good number of people have experienced this - me too on one PC. Always worth searching the forum for possible answers.
    Here's one of many such threads that should help.

    "
    1. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator. (E.g. Windows key + X, Click Command Prompt (admin) )
    2. Copy/type the following and enter

    reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    3. Reboot the system
    My DVD drive was then automatically recognised. Yippee."

    Did you go to File Explorer
    Should show up as D drive
    Also in Device Manager
    If none work then do a
    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

    Or an SFC Command
