Title: CD Drive not working
Post by: Den on Dec 26, 2020, 22:15:01
My CD/DVD Drive has stopped working on my HP Desktop and I can not play CDs. It was working a few weeks ago but now nothing at all.

Any thoughts?

I often find Windows 10 forgets my DVD Drive. The only way I can get it recognised again is to do a cold boot with a CD/DVD in the drive. Might be worth a try.
