    Damn DVD drive won't burn.
    I have swapped the drive for another and tried several softwares but still won't burn anything.

    Nope both W10 PC (Bluray) & Laptop(DVD) burn fine.

    Try going to Drive manufacturer website & download/install latest driver, If that don't work try the original driver that the device came with.

    Edit: beware that W10 sometimes installs the latest drivers for hardware that doesn’t work quite right. That's why you need to get the correct OEM driver & if that works go into Device manager & stop windows auto update on the driver for that device, sorry that's not how it works. Just checked what I had to do with an audio driver.

    have modified the following to be more generic.


    1. Right click your start button, click system, and then go to advanced system settings
    2. Go to hardware tab and go to device installation settings
    3. Click no, then click Never install device software, then click okay. (latest W10 Build has different wording, NO)
    4. Install your new drivers, then restart your computer, all should be good.
    5. You may then need to check if there is a driver update for that device queued up.
    6. Go to - download the .diagcab file. (Windows 10 has removed the ability to blacklist updates without using this file)
    7. Go through the steps and choose to ignore the Driver update that is queued up.

    Is your WIN10 32 or 64 bit?

    Are the drivers for the DVD burner digitally signed?

    Holy crap ... didn't realize there was so much under the right click. That's handy to know.
