Topic: Totally Baffled Please help

On my windows 10pc my cd/dvd drive has disappeared? I've no idea when this happened but even in device manager it appears to have gone . Utterly stumped .

Boot to the Windows 10 desktop, then launch Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and clicking Device Manager. Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the optical drive listed, then click Uninstall. Exit Device Manager then restart your computer. Windows 10 will detect the drive then reinstall it.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply but the dvd drive isn't even listed in the device manager anymore

People still have DVD drives.  Haven't used one in years.

Sounds like its knackered/ the cable is knackered.

Thanks guys , yep still use occasionally . The drive functions fine , it's on the bios, you can put a dvd or cd in it but windows doesn't see the drive so you can't use it .  f***ing weird.
