Driver/Music CDs or DVDs not playing in Windows 10

[vc10man 732]

Have any of the Windows 10 OS wizards here have any idea why Windows 10 OS build 19042.928 64-bit has topped all of a sudden from recognising music or driver CDs or data DVDs when inserted in the PCs DVD drive?

I'd appreciate any help.

So it doesn't recognize anything in that drive? When you boot into the UEFI setup can it see something in the drive?

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply, Luke.I thought for a minute despite many views, I was going to make no headway here.

Be it a data burned DVD-R, or a commercial music CD, it does not even show the disc title under the DVD drive icon in My Computer. Clicking on it just makes it eject the disc.

I'll try the UEFI boot-up. My first instinct was maybe the drive had gone kaput, but never had a Samsung OEM drive go pear-shaped before.

No dice with UEFI Boot Selects from F2, to as the drive does not show there. All the other SSDs, USB HDDs show up,including Card Readers, etc

Looks like the drive is kaput.

Thanks a lot for that confirmation, Luke. More or less, as I had suspected. That will teach me to have this infallible belief that optical drives are faultless😁
