Windows 10 - Problems with LG BH16NS40

Typically your computer manufacturers website will have a place to download BIOS updates and drivers, usually under the support section. If not you can always download a free program called CPU-Z and it will tell you your motherboard manufacturer. Then you can go to their site and download BIOS updates.

What about flashing the motherboard BIOS to the latest version?

Have you installed all available Windows Updates as well?

does it show any errors in your Device Manager or Windows system logs?

All the latest updated with windows are done, without problems. No errors to see.
But where to find BIOS updates???

When you boot up your machine you can see some information regarding your motherboard or system information. Is you PC a custom one or a brand version (HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc) ?

Just install the latest non beta Bios version. It shows you have version 5

do you have bootable DVD/CD? if you can boot PC from "LG BH16NS40" then your hardware and BIOS are OK.

If you look at his last screenshot, he's got both an LG BH16NS40 Bluray drive and a Sony Optiarc AD-7280S DVD RW drive in his PC. I suspect he booted off the Sony drive when installing Windows 10. The BIOS clearly recognizes the drive and he says it shows up in Windows Explorer, but it's just Windows that is having issues reading / writing / copying files from any discs for whatever reason despite working in Windows 7. Seems like a possible driver issue.

Correct Mike, Win10 sucks totally. I can boot with both drives (DVD/BR), they can also be seen on explorer. The BR drive can't read or write any DVD/BR. When you check google for that issue, there are several topics. Shit.
