How to fix Windows 10 'Insert A Disc' error when trying to play a CD in your DVD or CD-Rom drive.


When you insert a music CD into your optical drive on Windows 10, instead of playing the CD, the drive ejects the disc and you get an error message saying 'Insert a Disc'.


1. Navigate to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\AutoPlay

 

2. Make sure 'Use AutoPlay for all media and devices' is checked

 

3. Under 'Removable drives', check 'Choose what to do with each type of media'

(You can alternatively choose to Play with a different installed audio player
program if it appears as a Play option in the drop-down).
