Ok, Windows 10, I was running the latest version of Mkv as of last night. Open the pc this morning, makemkv cant find an optical drive.
I have tried fully shutting down, and restarting
I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
I have tried installing a previous version.
Other programs can find the optical drive, I can run blue-rays and dvd directly off the drive.
Any suggestions? Thanks. Bell,

Re: Can not find optical drive
Windows can refuse access to optical devices based on security policies. The key is to figure out what changed...
Does Windows allow you to take a directory of the drive when there is a disk in it?

Yes, I can place a disk in the drive and see the files on the dvd disk.

Re: Can not find optical drive
So i am still having the issue, though now, if i dont close makemkv i can keep it working. or when i have to close it. when i want to use it again, i have uninstall it, renstall it, uninstall it again, reinstall it and it works. no idea why i have to do it twice but it works.

Turn Windows Defender off.
P.S. people actually use Windows Defender? instead of a real antivirus?

You can also try running it as Administrator. That's what I have to do.
