How can I fix the issue of Windows 10 22H2 not recognizing my DVD drive?

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

• Check BIOS Settings: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, Del, or Esc during startup). Ensure that the DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS. If it's not listed, there might be a hardware issue.
• Device Manager Scan for Hardware Changes: Open Device Manager (press Windows + X and select Device Manager), click on "Action" in the menu bar, and select "Scan for hardware changes." This might help detect the missing DVD drive.
• Update or Reinstall DVD Drive Drivers: In Device Manager, expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives," right-click your DVD drive, and select "Update driver." If that doesn't work, you can also try uninstalling the driver and restarting your PC to reinstall it.
• Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows 10 is up to date. Go to Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update and click "Check for updates."
• Hardware Troubleshooting: If possible, test the DVD drive on another computer to determine if the issue is with the drive itself. If it works on another computer, the problem might be specific to your Windows installation or hardware configuration.
• Restore System to Previous State: If the DVD drive was working before a recent change (like a clean install), consider using System Restore to revert your system to a point before the change.
