Windows 10 does not play DVDs

I tried several data-DVDs. Unfortunately, the result was the same as before

Then it sounds more and more like the lasers are gone.... you mentioned you will try another drive so please let us know if that solves the issue you have....

So a DVD drive uses different lasers to read CDs and DVDs? I was not aware of this.

Right. CD uses a near IR laser (780 nm), while DVDs are read with a visible red (650 nm) laser. BluRay uses a deep violet (405 nm) laser, so if you had a BD drive, it's actually have 3 lasers present.

A bit late in posting this message but the DVD drive was replaced in the and. All seems well with the replacement.

Well crap I was hoping for a fix it other than the replacement.....It just infuriates me that a dvd drive that worked before now only reads CDs. I guess I'll have to shell out that 20 bucks to get a new one.............lol
