    From Windows 7 through most of Windows 10 I’ve been able to read and write BluRay discs without any problems, but somewhere along the line support was removed from Windoze 10, and I suppose W-11 also.  I have a Matsushita (Panasonic) UJ260 and a Hitachi BT20. Both are SATA CD-R/W, DVD-Multi, and BluRay Drives. My system is a Dell 9010 i7-3770, 64G Ram. How can I get the BluRay functionality back?

      Windows never natively supported commercial Blu-ray playback, you always needed a third-party application to play them. The drive should still work to read and write discs though, heck, even floppy disks are still supported!

      The first steps are recognition of the BluRay drives and their media.

      Drive – Are there any yellow warning triangles against the drives in Device Manager?

      Media – When you insert a BluRay disk, whether blank or not, is the disk actually recognised by the drives or do the drives show as empty… or just eject the disk automatically?

      No yellow triangles in Device Manager.

      When I insert a blank disc it shows it has 22.5GB free.

      So I guess the problem is that VLC, MS Movies & TV, Windoze Media Player, can’t see a BluRay movie disc. I never had this problem with DVDs.

      So I guess I’m off to go find a BluRay player for Windoze.

      Yup! None of those can directly access/play Blu-ray movies.

      I use the free Leawo Blu-ray Player on my Win10 22H2 and which works fine for playing Blu-ray discs.

      I now also use the Leawo Blu-ray Player on my Win10 22H2 which works so good for playing Blu-ray discs that I purchased a license for it!
