Specifically, it is the Asus SBW-06D2x-U here: I have an external Blu-Ray/DVD external drive for my Windows laptop. When I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the external drive no longer worked. When I first put this BH10LS30 (that's the LG model) optical drive into my Lenovo rig, both Windows XP and Windows 7 recognized the Blu-ray writer, but when I upgraded my Windows 7 partitioned drive to Windows 10, that new OS won't recognize my LG Blu-ray writer and it's not even mentioned/detected in the Device Manager. I could hear that its power was on, but the drive did not appear in “This PC” and neither did it appear in the Device Manager. It was as if the drive was completely invisible to Windows 10. I found the solution here: What follows is the info I got from there, rewritten for completely ignorant people (like me). With the external drive plugged into the USB ports, open up the Device Manager (if you don’t know how, simply type “device manager” into the search box and click on it). First, look to see if the drive is listed there but with an exclamation mark next to it if so, that’s a different problem and you’ll need to look somewhere else for the solution. If your external drive is completely missing from Device Manager, look to see if there is an entry called “Initio Combo Device Class”. If so, see what happens if you unplug the external drive. If the “Initio Combo” thing disappears, then that’s the problem: Windows 10 is mistaking your Blu-Ray drive for this useless Initio thing.
