Win 10 - unable to read CD-R

[daveza]

I'm all out of ideas.

I have two Win 10 pcs - the one will read both original and CD/DVDs that I have burnt myself.

The newer system will only read original optical discs.

I've tried the various reg fixes, can't get it to read a home made cd ( which the other pc does read ).

I now have a client with the same problem on a new Win 10 laptop.

Has anyone figured out how to solve this ?

Thanks

Are the CD's "closed" or are they still open for writing?

Definitely closed.

IDE ATA/ATAPI controller

Delete and install the device and drivers and then restart pc .
it will detect the controller again and should resolve the issue.

Standard SATA AHCI controller i find work the best , some updated drivers seem to cause issue with writable disk . mine kept messing around when i was burning disks. that the drive would spin up and cause machine to become un responsive.

Do you still own VHS tapes too? Kidding. Never heard of this issue. Have you tried putting the CD player of the system that works in the system that doesn't? That could rule out make/model etc.

Is the data in any way copyright protected? Because some players have built in checks and balances for that specifically.
