Windows 10 DVD Drive Missing

Help, Support & Tutorials

A small glitch with Windows 10 that we are starting to see in the repair shop is that the DVD drive on computers seems to disappear.

I am not yet sure of the cause of this but there is a quick fix.

  1. Click Start (the flag) and type Troubleshooting.
  2. Select Troubleshooting from the list that appears in the Start Menu and look for Hardware & Sound, then Configure A Device.
  3. Follow the steps to let the troubleshooter run it’s fixit.
  4. On completion restart your computer. (important).

This issue has become more common since the big November Update. The next big update will most probably have this error patched.
