Internal Blu-ray Drive Not Recognized in Windows Explorer After Windows 11 Upgrade

[bushmelons]

After upgrading to Windows 11, my internal Blu-ray drive is no longer recognized in Windows Explorer. While the drive appears in Device Manager and is listed as "working properly," it doesn't show up in Explorer, and inserting a disc doesn't trigger any response.

The drivers are up-to-date. How can I fix this issue?

Look in the [Computer management] ->>[disk manager] to see if your blueray has a drive letter assigned to it.

I had the same issue with an ASUS Desktop from 2016 with Win10, after that computer literally had case parts breaking I tried the drive in a Win11 computer and didn't get any support for it so I discarded the drive as I don't have any Blu-Ray discs.

I am tempted to try a different drive I have that uses the 25GB M-Disc but haven't shopped for the discs yet, they are rather pricey at Amazon.
