I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 and now CD/DVD drive wouldn't show it on "This PC". A look into Device Manager shows that the device is detected and working properly. However, there's a white question mark icon on it.
Do note that I am not asking what the question mark means. I am asking how I can make my CD/DVD drive work under such circumstances. The question is where else can I look for possible reasons that cause it to not work even though Device Manager says it's working. As far as I know, media drives doesn't require drivers and I can't find one for this drive anyway.
I have already attempted all the resolutions in the following article except for the fixit one. Windows 10 is still not supported.
Your CD or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs

@Moab I'm not asking what the question mark means. I'm asking how can I get windows to recognise the CD/DVD drive and display it in "This PC". Currently I am unable to use the CD/DVD drive as it doesn't show up a all, even when I insert media into that drive. – DarkDestry – 2015-09-26T06:14:12.520
@Moab You are linking me something I have already linked and stated that it doesnt work in the question. – DarkDestry – 2015-09-27T08:35:03.997
Does the drive show up in disk management? – Moab – 2015-09-27T13:13:17.857
@Moab That would be a no. – DarkDestry – 2015-09-28T17:05:13.370

I think Widows 10 enforces driver signatures on devices that can play back protected content, best guess it blocks the device when there is no signed driver.
– Moab – 2015-09-28T18:15:48.927@Moab I believe that is the case as well. However, the drivers are automatically installed by the device itself. Uninstalling it would just make it reinstall on the next hardware scan. I cant drivers for it anywhere on the internet. Additionally its a laptop CD drive and thus I am unable to replace the drive. Is there a way to either turn off that feature or make an exception for a driver? – DarkDestry – 2015-09-30T14:31:16.217
Its a windows driver included with the OS, which makes me wonder why it is unsigned, strange problem. – Moab – 2015-09-30T14:57:12.520
