No DVD Drive or Missing DVD Drive after upgrading to Windows 10

If you've upgraded a PC to Windows 10 and the DVD drive has seemed to disappear, you might find simply uninstalling the drive in Device Manager and then rebooting the PC brings the drive back.

However if it doesn't, then try the following;


  • Press the Windows Key and type "regedit" to open the Registry Editor
  • Browse to the following registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}



  • Look for "LowerFilters" and "UpperFilters". You might only see one of these, either way delete them
  • Close the Registry Editor and restart the PC
  • The DVD drive(s) should now be available again
