I have been using MakeMKV a lot lately. After I updated it to MakeMKV v 1.13.3 win(x64-release) just a few minutes ago, it now just wont work: "The program could not find any usable optical drives". It says that although I've been working with my drive and MakeMKV all day just fine. I am gratefull for all suggestions, how to fix it.

Try power cycling the drive or power off the PC for a few minutes if the drive is installed internally.

I haven't seen the need to update MakeMKV as yet. I'm still using v1.17.6.
