Windows 10 Dvd writer logo missing .

[NettleWarbler]

Afternoon all , the dvd writer icon in my computer is now missing , it was ok . The cables seem to be in right , when I start and go in settings . In the BOOT menu there is a Dvd -Rom drive listed , so I think it's the Logo in My computer that's missing . I don't know how that could have or should have happened though . Thank you .

Is this a laptop or tower PC? What location are you referring to in your first sentence?

I've seen this happen before where a buggy filter driver is installed.

bassfisher6522 , its a desktop tower PC , I took the side off and the power and sata cables seem to be in right . The BOOT menu in settings shows the drive ,. and it worked alright before the dvd logo was in place .

Neemobeer , I tried method 1 and method 3 on the page in the link , I tried to update the drivers in Device manager but it says the latest drivers are installed .

 

[NettleWarbler]

I tried method 5 and can't find any UpperFilters. listed no LowerFilters. either .

 

[NettleWarbler]

I tried method 6 , i'm just going to restart my computer now . I will have to go now .

 

[Neemobeer]

What is the status code in device manager?

 

[NettleWarbler]

Method 6 failed also .

 

[NettleWarbler]

Neemobeer , where do I find the status code ?

 

[Neemobeer]

Device Manager > Device > Properties

 

[NettleWarbler]

Neemobeer ,is this what you mean .

 

[Neemobeer]

Yes can you post a screen of 'This Computer'

 

[NettleWarbler]

Neemobeer , sorry to take so long .

 

[NettleWarbler]

Neemobeer , I was trying to Boot from my SSD Drive . as windows 10 was already installed on here , look what's in my computer .

 

[Neemobeer]

I guess I misunderstood the issue. You're saying you can't write?

 

[NettleWarbler]

Neemobeer , No you did understand the issue its the logo that's missing . The Hard-Drive where the logo is missing was my Crive , at this moment i'm on my SSD Drive .

 

[Neemobeer]

The drive is present. What it says in 'This Computer' depends on what disc you have in the drive. From the picture it looks like you have a DVD-R disc in the drive
