About this tag
The reading issue tag on WindowsForum.com covers problems where optical drives fail to read specific disc formats, such as DVD-ROM, while still handling other media. In one example, two Windows 10 Pro machines lost the ability to read DVD-ROM discs simultaneously, despite the drives previously working with those discs. The user suspects a recent security update may have caused the problem, as both systems are fully updated and using generic Microsoft drivers. Discussions focus on troubleshooting drive recognition, driver conflicts, and update-related regressions that affect disc reading capabilities.
