DVD drive icon has disappeared from the Device Manager and my computer

DVD drive icon disappeared from the Device Manager and my computer. I m using window 7. How can I get it back.

Ashwani Hello,

Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

There are various reasons why a CD or DVD drive may not be detected. I would like to ask all of the steps in the Microsoft Article describes a troubleshooting and check if they help to resolve the issue.

Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs

Note:

Before editing a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy of the key or the subkey. You can save the backup copy to a location that you specify, for example, a folder on your hard drive or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to cancel, you can import the backup copy. For more information about backing up the registry, please see the link below.

  • Latitude E5470 TPM has disappeared from the Device Manager

    At my employer, we had several problems with the TPM secure disappears from the Device Manager.

    This brings us to not be able to reactivate bit-locker.

    We would be the image the device with Windows 7 company.

    We had this happen with several machines who did and does not have dealt with windows updates.

    Same thing with Dell drivers and BIOS treated and untreated.

    I ran tool HWINFO and it lists the TPM with a memory address something like 0000FED4000 but I can't find that in the Device Manager or msinfo32.

    I have went to the BIOS and turn off the TPM and it turned on and activated it.

    I reloaded the BIOS firmware.

    If recreate us the image on laptops the TPM appears in the Manager of devices as planned so I don't think this as a problem with the motherboard.

    Curiously, although we had some motherboards replaced and the TPM is displayed.

    I feel that replacing the motherboard is the solution to this question we can restore the functionality with a new image or reload the operating system from scratch. But that does not satisfy the risk of the issue and already its appearance again.

    I searched for weeks a solution to this problem, but I came up short.

    I am sure that others have this problem.

    With all the processed drivers and windows updates treatment it does not solve the problem.

    Think you I'm missing?

    Thank you for taking the time to look into it.

    Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds (drain the capacitors).

    Reinstall the SODIMM (s).

    Reconnect the battery and screw him.

    Attach the rear cover.

    Turn on the laptop, demarrer start in windows, open the Device Manager and check that the TPM is listed under security devices.

  • Bluetooth has disappeared from the Device Manager

    My computer does not detect bluetooth devices. I went to the bluetooth menu and unchecked and rechecked the boxes 'discovery' and so on. However, when I hit apply, the window became unresponsive and I forced to close. When I tried to repeat this, when you type apply I get a Bluetooth Service error message saying my device is disconnected (my bluetooth adapter is built-in). I went to the Device Manager and disabled the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and generic adapter Microsoft to try to restart them. However, instead of just disabling, the owner made them disappear from the list (even show hidden devices will not bring them back). Now I have no bluetooth, the 'other' device any device and can not use bluetooth. I tried everything I can think and find on the net (reboot), update, etc.. Help, please!

    • The Bluetooth support service is not configured to use the local administrator account.

      Point of Bluetooth devices is not present when you open the control panel.

    Hello! I've recently updated my T500 and realized that my ATI GPU has disappeared from my list of display adapter in Device Manager and my system tray. Instead the intel GMA appears. I downloaded the switchable graphics driver on the Lenovo site and ran the ATI configuration all found in C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO, but he did nothing to solve this problem. I am running Windows Vista x 64. I hope someone here can help me with this problem.

    It is CORRECTED! After much head shining all day I finally found my own solution to my problem. Installed an ATI driver updated the using the Mobility Modder with permission from people to kind to Driver Heaven! Reinstalled the switchable graphics driver of Lenovo, now my machine seems to work better now before the problem occurred. In fact, click on the switchable graphics option that wasn't available on my right (and I had not noticed either) is now available and ready! A whole day trying to figure this out finally paid off! My problem is solved by me!

  • Volume control icon has disappeared from the notification area and unable to change.

    Original title: missing Volume control on the speaker/icon

    My volume control icon disappeared from my office. On my notification area icons > system icons, the volume icon is set to 'off' and grayed out so I can't change it. I did NOT choose this option. It just happened when I turned on my computer this morning and had no sound and no "speaker" icon appearing in my bar tasks, like she normally does.  In addition, my notifications area icons is set to DISPLAY the volume control on the taskbar, but it does not show.  Restarting my computer did not help.  What can I do to get this to redisplay the taskbar? Fortunately, I can always manually volume by going to control panel, sounds, speakers, level and make it work, but it's too long. I need to be able to turn the volume on and off quickly.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium. Thanks for any help that can be given.

    Thank you very much for your answer!

    The answers to your three questions are No, Yes, and No. miraculously, when I turned on my computer this morning, the icon is back!  I'm sorry that you have to spend so much time explaining what to do, but at least I'll have your answer to see if it never happens again, and maybe it can help someone else.  I doubt I'm the only person never to happen.  Once again, thank you!

How to restore the icon of the menu display calendar?  Thank you. Robyn

    Thanks for sharing everything you already tried... any information help so avoid redundant orientation.

    Please, dig deeply and carefully on all the home screen panels, subfolders, etc... It is easy to accidentally move an icon to a different location. Also, you dig, please make sure that "Show all" is active, just in case you've hidden inadvertently to the icon.

  • Wireless adapter suddenly lost, disappeared from the Device Manager. How to prevent this?

    Hey :)

    Ive looked all over the internet, but still nothing quite similar to this...
    -Asus PC V551LB-CJ093H
    -Windows 8
    -Wireless network adapter: Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260
    The problem is: laptop suddenly loses wireless wireless adapter because suddenly friggin disappears from the Device Manager, as did not exist. Only the wired network adapter still works and all things Bluetooth. The only way to resurrect from the dead is to restart my laptop. But I don't like this solution X_x. How can I stop my laptop disconnect my wireless connection?
    What I've tried:
    Auto-updated the driver from Device Manager
    -' Find the hardware changes' on Device Manager
    -Disable "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" the power of the device management
    The only thing that has worked now:
    -Restart the laptop.
    Thank you very much for your help :D

    Thanks a lot :) I've manually updated the drivers from the manufacturer's website (intel), and the problem ceased to occur. I will you update if anything... Thanks again.

    First try a system restore to a date that precedes you disabled the camera, it could allow the camera back.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    Try reinstalling the camera driver. On my previous Asus link there is a click to download on that link. You must communicate your model number or click on 'Auto-Detection model '.

    There is also a forum on the Asus Support link, you can try to ask your questions here.

    You can also try the update of the BIOS available on the download link and then check if the unit is on.
