Windows 10 DVD Player

Drivers aren't the problem, it's usually the Upper and Lower Filters in the registry that is corrupted:

This has been the way to fix it since Win95

Well, didn't have either filter. My key looked like the one in the pic, without the filters, with the exception of the "Installer 32" entry that I didn't have. Could that be the problem?

Geez...

FIX: Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 does not see the DVD drive after a reboot

I'm gonna try this. Thanks. The only thing is, my drive is in the inventory of "This PC". It ejects, and obeys every command except "Play". There were two, the exact same type. I took one out, and installed it in another PC. VOILLA! It works. Nothing wrong with the drive. That's why I wondered if the driver may not be "signed" in Windows 8.1, and 10. They both worked in Windows 7.

Strange...

Go into Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and uninstall channel 0 and channel 1. Reboot the computer and those 2 things will automatically reinstall and your problem may be fixed. It has worked for other people.

That was the first thing that I did. No, it didn't work...

I wonder if I'm describing the issue adequately. What other info should I include? All of the "basic" troubleshooting techniques have been tried, and tried again. I am seriously thinking of just calling this issue a "ghost" issue. I've tried the drives elsewhere, and they work. I don't know what else to include. I apologize...
