It's also possible the old Microsoft UpperFilter Fixit
would work. For those who are adverse to using Regedit.

Unfortunately, no Win10 specific one is shown. There
is one for Win8.1, but it will likely quit when it
does an OS version check.

You can also check the Troubleshooting control panel
in Win10, for an optical drive related troubleshooter.
Could well do the same thing as above. OK, I checked
in there, and there isn't a Fixit of that type.

So you really are left with Regedit, unless
the Win8.1 Fixit in 314060 will work.
