When I then inserted a cd in the drive, Hey Presto! it worked! Took a lot of trial and error to get to this point so I hope this helps in connection with the advice given above. Clicking on that allowed me to uninstall AND delete the driver.

It said that the driver for the device was the Initio one. I then right clicked on the device in the Devices and printers settings and clicked on properties. However, it still didn’t work as a disc player and Initio did not appear in device manager.

My PC has a USB 3.0 port and I found that by uninstalling all the USB device drivers except the USB 3.0 and then restarting the PC with the disc drive still connected, Windows recognised it as an external disc drive. When I plugged in my disc drive it wasn’t even recognised as a disc drive – just an external device. This time the “Initio” driver did not appear in the list so I couldn’t delete it as in previous upgrades.

Windows 10 upgraded this week and I found myself with the same problem yet again.

The drive should now work! It should appear in “This PC” and it should appear in “Device Manager” in the list of “DVD/CD-ROM drives”.

Restart the computer and let it boot up.

With the computer powered off, plug in the external drive to the USB ports.

Shut down your computer (be sure to shut it down fully, don’t just restart it).

Unplug the external drive from the USB ports.

Click on ‘Uninstall Device’, and then follow the instructions carefully to ensure that you do uninstall the drivers (IMPORTANT: you may need to click on a checkbox to confirm that you want to delete the driver software – don’t miss this step if so).

In the window that pops up click on the ‘Driver’ tab.

Now right-click on it again and click ‘Properties’.

Right-click on “Initio Default Controller” and click ‘Disable’ to turn it off.

Click on the little “>” next to it, and you should see something called “Initio Default Controller” appear underneath.

Plug your external drive back in, and “Intio Combo Device Class” should reappear in the Device Manager.

OK, so follow these instructions TO THE LETTER. I do not know why this works, but it does. If you get rid of Initio, your computer will recognize your Blu-Ray drive properly. If the “Initio Combo” thing disappears, then that’s the problem: Windows 10 is mistaking your Blu-Ray drive for this useless Initio thing. If so, see what happens if you unplug the external drive. If your external drive is completely missing from Device Manager, look to see if there is an entry called “Initio Combo Device Class”.

First, look to see if the drive is listed there but with an exclamation mark next to it if so, that’s a different problem and you’ll need to look somewhere else for the solution. With the external drive plugged into the USB ports, open up the Device Manager (if you don’t know how, simply type “device manager” into the search box and click on it). I found the solution here: What follows is the info I got from there, rewritten for completely ignorant people (like me).

It was as if the drive was completely invisible to Windows 10. I could hear that its power was on, but the drive did not appear in “This PC” and neither did it appear in the Device Manager. When I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the external drive no longer worked. Specifically, it is the Asus SBW-06D2x-U here: I have an external Blu-Ray/DVD external drive for my Windows laptop.
