My internal DVD/CD drive E: is not recognized with a blank disk. It was fine until the anniversary update. My USB drives work fine. I put blank dvd in nothing happens to the drive. I have run all kind of tests and it says the drive is OK. The Drive is HP-GT50N Sata. I have tried everything any help would be appreciated.

Google that drive and see if there is an updated driver for it, sounds like there is a miscommunication.You could also try disabling it and then enableling it again and see if that solves the issue.
If you can find the driver you have on the HP site, download and save it to desktop, then in device manager uninstall the driver for the drive, reboot and then reinstall the driver from the desktop. It's possible that someone got corrupted during the update.
Best of luck!

What exactly are you expecting to happen, when you insert blank media?
Can you open the drive containing the blank media in File Explorer and drag and drop other files from you computer to it to burn?
You might want to check the registry here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives
See if you optical drives are listed as volumes below that key and if the value "IsImapiDataBurnSupported" is set to "1" in the right pane, indicating that they support burning.
When I click on the Drive E it says to insert a DVD and it then ejects the DVD that is in there.
