• Dvd Rom Disappeared Windows 10

You might find a exclamation mark too in device manager for your DVD Drive in device manager. Also, if you insert in disk in DVD ROM, it’ll flash the LED lights on it for a while, but nothing would happen.

But the problem is, that none of these solution worked for me and my Device Manager recognizes the DVD ROM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GUC0N) but in the wrong category. Instead of being a CD/DVD drive, it enlists it next to my Hard Drive (if I’m not mistaken, it’s called Disk Drives in English, or something like that.) I can send a screenshot about my Device Manager, if it helps. Dawn of man trainer. I tried to remove the hardware and put it back on, but it did not help. My DVD ROM works (if I press the button, it comes out, and goes back) but doesn’t read the disc I put in. And I don’t have a “LowerFilter” or “UpperFilter” at the given place.
