The Windows 10 upgrade has not been a smooth one for all PC users. Many Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 users who upgraded to Windows 10 have been experiencing a variety of issues after the upgrade. While Microsoft has ironed out many of the issues in recent updates, a small percent of users still experiencing issues.
Many users have reported about the missing CD/DVD drive icon after upgrading to Windows 10. According to users, the CD/DVD drive icon doesn’t appear either in This PC or navigation pane of File Explorer (Windows Explorer) after the upgrade.
At one time, Floppy drives, CDs and DVDs used to be a primary source of external storage for many, before USB storage devices took over. Nowadays, many devices do not even come with a built-in CD or DVD writer or reader due to its direct effect on the thickness of the device. Although, many CD or DVD writers, that are powered via USB connections are now available – some users are reporting an issue where the CD/DVD Icon is not visible in the File Explorer – This PC or My Computer page.
