4k Blu-ray Discs not showing up in Windows at all

[grnday5]

When I insert a 4k blu-ray disc, it does not show up in windows or makemkv. I have no problems ripping standard blu-ray discs. When I throw a 4k blu-ray disc into the drive, I get the following info:

Is there more info I can provide on from my PC specs to see if anyone would know why 4k discs arent even apearing in Windows despite having a 4k friendly drive? I appreciate any insight!

Your drive is on an unfriendly firmware version. So the results you're seeing are normal. It needs to be downgraded.

I'm having a similar problem: I have an "LGWH16NS40" and I just put in one of my 4k bluray's and it loaded in then said no disk inserted. How do I fix this? (can I?)

I am super confused by all of this, and I just tried the new flasher tool and got this error https://imgur.com/a/ZQ4kfpI I picked the "flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS40_1.02" I thought that was all I had to do? can I get some other way to contact you so I don't have to wait for the forum for a mod to verify my post?

OMG it's really that easy? thank you. Just from reading the previous posts it was confusing me, because I thought like I had to do some kind of hex edit or something. thank you so much. It seems to be working right now. Thank you.
