Windows 7 WinExp does NOT show BlueRay content - All other tools do!

[pstein]

I have a problem with WinExplorer under 64bit Win 7:

I inserted a BlueRay or DVD media and want to see the content (approx 12 big zip files) in Windows Explorer.
But WinExp does not show them (on the right side in details list).

If I click on the drive in WinExplorer nothing happens.
Only the Media label is shown beside the drive letter on the left side of WinExp.

All other tools (e.g. Beyond Compare, Double Commander, Explorer++) show the the containing files successfully.
Even a "dir" in CommandPrompt shows them.

I can copy them to my hard disk.
So the media BlueRay/DVD is not damaged.

File System is UDF
As I remember all worked fine a couple of weeks ago.
Maybe I accidentially switched some settings.

So why are they not listed in Windows Explorer?

It seems like there might be a specific issue with how Windows Explorer is handling the UDF file system on your BlueRay/DVD media. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this problem: 1. Refresh Windows Explorer: - Close and reopen Windows Explorer to see if the files on the BlueRay/DVD media appear. 2. Check Folder Options: - Open Windows Explorer, go to the "View" tab, and click on "Options." - Under the "View" tab in Folder Options, ensure that "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is selected. 3. Check UDF Support: - Confirm that Windows has the necessary UDF file system support. Windows Explorer should generally handle UDF file systems, but you might want to ensure that there are no conflicts. 4. Check the Drive Letter: - Sometimes issues can arise from conflicting drive letters. Try assigning a different drive letter to the optical drive to see if that resolves the problem. 5. Check for Windows Updates: - Make sure your Windows 7 system is up to date with all the latest updates. Sometimes, system updates can resolve compatibility issues. 6. Third-Party Software: - If the issue persists, consider using third-party file management software to browse the contents of the BlueRay/DVD media effectively. 7. Drivers and Firmware: - Ensure that your optical drive has the latest drivers and firmware installed. Check the manufacturer's website for any updated drivers or firmware for the optical drive. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot why the files on the UDF BlueRay/DVD media are not appearing in Windows Explorer and hopefully resolve the issue.
