I had a similar problem when I upgraded my wife's computer from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro.
She has 2 DVD optical drives and they are identical.
One worked perfectly and the other didn't show up anywhere. Not in device manager and not in disk management.
This is what I used to fix it.
Right-click the Start button > Command Prompt (Admin) and type
reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
hit enter
Worked for me, hopefully someone else will find it useful.
Hello, I have the same problem - let me now if you get an answer.
I've just upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 and my DVD player has disappeared.
I have a Toshiba Portege R830 PT321A 01K00201
When I go to device manager there are no yellow exclamations, there is just no DVD player there at all.
I've checked the Toshiba website and they don't do drivers for this Model for Windows 10.
Anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance,
portmoon
I will stick to this topic, I've similar situation.
MatshitaDVD-RAM UJ8B0
In Device Manager it is visible as "Other Device" without any error (but not visible in My Computer)
When I was trying to update thid driver to Windows standard DVD Driver it didn't work but it was visible in My Computer...
I was trying the solution with the Win Registry - not working.
Any ideas?
