Pioneer BDR-S13UBK Stopped Working

Hey everyone. Last night my Pioneer drive stopped ripping blu-rays. Directly before it stopped working, I upgraded to Windows 11 and to MakeMKV 1.18.2. Before I updated, the highest AACS version was 82, but that wasn't either of the most recent disks (the last working disk was 36 and the first non-working disk was 50). Anyone have any insight on what might be causing this issue?

002004:0000 Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:COPY PROTECTION KEY EXCHANGE FAILURE - KEY NOT ESTABLISHED' occurred while issuing SCSI command AD010..080002400 to device 'SPTI:\Device\CdRom1'

... which eventually, gives
003306:0000 Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive

Just reboot the drive - viewtopic.php?p=186821#p186821

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, rebooting does not resolve the issue. I'm not sure if these messages are helpful, but this is what appears when MakeMKV is Scanning CD-ROM devices:

Eventually the disk shows up. But then the errors from my original post appear during the Decrypting phase.
