CD / DVD Drive Hasn't Been Working And Doesn't Show Up On PC

Dec 5, 2015

I'm having with my cd/dvd drive. Since downloading Windows 10 the drive hasn't been working and doesn't show up in This PC. When I put a disk in it it Just spins around for a few seconds then stops. The odd thing is that the drive is recognized by Device Manager which says its working OK.

Deleted Drivers - PC Doesn't Even Show DVD Drive To Install Software

Jun 1, 2015

This morning I downloaded windows 10. Installed and all that only to find that I couldn't connect to the Internet. I have a belkin USB adapter that allows me to connect wirelessly. The PC didn't recognize it and would not connect. So I connect my dvd drive again so I could reinstall the driver. Now the PC doesn't even show my dvd drive. So I cannot install the software and the it won't connect through Ethernet. I went to the store hoping to find a PCI express card so I could just slap it in and be connected. Walmart didn't carry the item so found this usb to Ethernet thing.

Can't Safely Eject External Hard Drive And Icon Doesn't Show Up In Task Bar

Nov 28, 2015

I just received my MSI laptop with Windows 10 and I'm still feeling around on how to use the new OS (upgraded from Windows 7). I plugged in my ext. HDD and something popped up asking something along the lines of "What do you want to do with this?". I was like "Okay, everything's going fine so far."

The problem came when I wanted to eject my HDD though. I couldn't find the icon in the little notifications area with the arrow. I couldn't eject the HDD from "This PC" either. In the end, I just unplugged it, since there wasn't anything too important on it.

I've tried enabling "Quick Removal" in the device manager, but that checkbox doesn't even show up. Instead, it's replaced with the "Write-caching policy" options. I've also tried turning the notifications on in the taskbar, but that doesn't work either. I turned on task manager, safely eject..., and location, but none of them show up. I've restarted my computer as well.

Lock Screen Doesn't Show Up

Sep 11, 2015

I just upgraded my computer to Windows 10 from Windows 8. With Windows 8, my laptop would display a lock screen everytime I turn the computer on, whether it was from sleep or from being shut down. However, immediately after upgrading, my laptop began to skip the lock screen step. Is there a way to turn it back on?

When PC Is Locked Cannot Always Log Back In - Cursor Doesn't Show

Mar 5, 2016

I leave my pc running most of the day and it locks either manually (windows key + L) or locks through screensaver. After 10 mins the screen is set to turn off.

Sometimes when I move the mouse or tap the keyboard to wake the monitor it comes up with the logon screen but the password box is black rather than white which is ready to type in the password.

Nothing else works other than pressing the button on the pc to restart.

Customization :: Lock Screen Background Doesn't Show Up

Jul 30, 2015

Just installed Windows 10 on my primary laptop and the lock screen is a solid blue (if I change my theme color, the lock screen changes too). However, I have Windows Spotlight turned on. I've tried setting a static picture or slideshow as the background. I also confirmed that the files needed for Windows Spotlight are indeed downloaded onto my computer. It just refuses to change.It's worth noting that on my secondary computer with Windows Insider builds, I have, and have been having, the same problem.

Action Centre Doesn't Show Notification Toasts Or Sounds

Aug 5, 2015

Since upgrading to Win10 I've noticed as in the title, my action centre won't play any sounds or toast banner notify me at all. When I get an email in gmail, I'll see the icon in the taskbar go white, but absolutely no sounds or anything.

I've checked the settings and they're turned on, so I'm at a loss at what could cause it. Quiet hours are off as well.

Searching Start Menu Doesn't Show Results From All Drives

Sep 11, 2015

I have two drives, an SSD (with Windows on) and a hard drive (with all my files on).

When using the start menu to search for something, it will only show results that are on my SSD. This is annoying as the majority of the things I'm looking for when searching are on my HDD, so I have to open explorer and go through all my documents trying to find the single file I'm looking for.

I was previously advised to change my indexing options. I've changed my indexing options to include my hard drive when searching, but it has still not changed.

Here's what my indexing options look like .....

Laptop Doesn't Boot Because OS Is On D Drive Instead Of C Drive

Oct 18, 2015

My laptop doesn't boot because OS is on E: drive instead of C: drive

When I try to boot it up (it somehow boots up as windows 8.1 instead of my OS windows 10), it gives a BSoD and shows the error code 0xc000021a. I created a bootable USB drive with windows 10 pro on it, but it shows my OS as windows 8.1 instead of 10, and it doesn't allow me to restore or do a startup repair, because they both fail.

Booting up:

Repair shows windows 8.1 instead of 10:

Black Screen / Restart - Looks Like OS Hasn't Loaded Correctly

Jan 15, 2016

Coming home from work I try to start my PC and it does what I described in the title. Here is what exactly happens:

- Start PC
- See windows Logo + loading dots
- Black screen (for a while)
- Restart

No errors, no beeps, nothing. Then it restarts a couple of time and then I come in the "Recovery" screen with the text: "It looks like Windows hasn't loaded correctly".

I've tried to boot to safe mode, and this works and it seems everything is working correctly. I did a anti-malware test just to be sure and it did not change anything. I also checked if all Windows recognized all the hardware, which it does. Everything looks and works as normal in safe mode.

Also tried the Start-up Repair, but it says it could not find anything wrong.

Why Won't External Drive Show Up On Laptop

Feb 25, 2016

Ok, I bought a 2tb Seagate external drive which I swapped in my ps4, and took the 500 gig drive out of the ps4 to use as my external drive for my laptop.

But, my problem is, is that when I put in the usb cord to connect my external hard drive to my laptop, it lights up, but it doesn't show up anywhere on my laptop. I've done the disc management, and nothing is showing up as well.

My laptop is an HP Pavilion g, came with windows 7 64bit, but did that upgrade for windows 10 64 bit. Why it wont show up on my laptop.
