Fix: "Burn Disc Image" Option Missing From Context Menu.

In this tutorial, we are adding a Context Menu item that appears when you right-click on an ISO or IMG file to immediately open Windows Disk Image Burner.

By default Windows 7 through Windows 10 have the ability to Burn an ISO file without the need of a third party software. The Burn disc image option should appear at the top of the right click context menu when you right-click on a ISO file.

Some Windows users are seeing the ‘A Disk Burner Wasn’t Found‘ error while attempting to burn an image to a disk using the native Image Burner client (isoburn.exe).

The ability to burn ISO files right from Windows Explorer without the help of third-party tools was first introduced with Windows 7. Both Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10, in addition to ISO burning feature, allow users to mount ISO image files with the click of a mouse.

When you right-click on an ISO file in Windows 10/8/7, you should see the “Burn disc image” option in the context menu. What to do if the “Burn disc image” option is missing or no longer appears in the right-click context menu? To restore this context menu item, you have to set the built-in app – Windows Disc Image Burner – as the default program for opening an ISO file. Here’s how:

After investigating this particular issue, it turns out that there are several different potential culprits that might end up causing this particular issue:

DVD ROM doesn’t have writing capabilities – If you’re seeing this message while attempting to ‘burn’ an ISO on a flash drive, the utility throws the error because it’s build to expect physical DVD burning. Because of this, it’s important to start this troubleshooting attempt by verifying either your DVD drive actually has read-write (RW) capabilities or not.

Windows 10 glitch – If you’re seeing this problem on Windows 10 and you only see this occurring after existing hibernation mode, you might be dealing with a lesser-known Windows 10 glitch. In this case, you should be able to fix the problem by restarting your computer or by running the Hardware & Devices troubleshooter and applying the recommended fix.

Explorer.exe is stuck in a ‘limbo’ state – Under certain circumstances, you might see this error due to an inconsistency having to do with explorer.exe. In this case, you should be able to fix the problem by closing explorer.exe via Task manager before reopening it from an elevated CMD window.

Inconsistent / Corrupted DVD-RW driver – Another possibility with the potential of causing this issue is an inconsistent or corrupted DVD writer driver. If this scenario is applicable, uninstall the driver via Device Manager in order to force your OS to install a generic equivalent at the next startup sequence.

IsoBurn.exe expects a blank disk – If you want to copy a mounted ISO on a flash drive, you will not be able to do so with the native burning utility (isoburn.exe). In this case, you will need to use a 3rd party tool like Rufus or ImageBurn to get the job done.
