I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. When I put a blank Blu-Ray disk in my Lite-On iHBS112 Blu-Ray drive, Windows 10 does not recognize the blank Blu-ray disk or the content of any subsequent Blu-Ray or DVD disk in that drive. The 'Burn a disk' window does not appear for the blank Blu-Ray disk. Disk Management says the format of a subsequent non-blank disk in the Blu-Ray drive is RAW. However if I put a non-blank DVD disk in my Lite-On iHAS124 DVD drive, Windows 10 recognizes the content of subsequent disks in the Blu-Ray drive. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit behavior is okay on the same computer. How can I get Windows 10 to dependably recognize disks in the Blu-Ray drive?
