It's been a recommendation even on Microsoft's Support pages to restore the functionality of a missing CD/DVD disc drive.
And like mta stated just make a System Restore Point to undo any changes, since restoring from a Restore Point also restores the system registry.
Okay.

create a Restore Point first to cover yourself.
do the suggested registry change.
I am afraid to touch the registry.

have you tried the UpperLimit, LowerLimit registry hack?
Didn't. I'm afraid to do this.

Search the web for fixes especially on Microsoft's website. If all else fails I know there are YouTube videos that will walk you through attempting to get the drive back.
Give this a try:

Listen... I've just thought - if I'll install ImgBurn or Ashampoo burner or anything else - will it help? Will the drive show up in My Computer folder just because it's a recheck for it?

That upperfilters and lowerfilters that people are told to delete in the registry (should make a registry backup of those keys first though) has been around since at least the Windows 98 era.
That means that the missing DVD drive is a problem from Windows 98 era?!

for me, SFC and DISM cover two separate areas.
I run
> dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth /loglevel:2
and
> dism /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore /norestart /loglevel:2
if they show component store corruption or reclaimable packages then I'll do a
> dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase /loglevel:2SFC looks for modified, missing or corrupted system files.
Usually, you never need to run DISM - except for when the SFC commands itself fails.
DISM can rebuild the Windows deployment image. then it's time for the /restorehealth command.
And after running that, you would then do another SFC and hope it completes.
So please learn that Windows 10 is COMPLETELY different OS!! I get confused with it all around!!
...and (imp.!!) do the HDD defrags once a week!!

When you restart the CD drive should be available - if not a repair install of the OS may be needed.
Wow... what is "a repair install of the OS may be needed"?!
And where is Microsoft hotfix under Windows 10 for this?!
-
I hate SFC / scannow command.
Two, there are NO official Microsoft hotfix for that issue under Windows 10.
Three, I'll do mentioned operations and I'll call back here ...
-
So it's you guys saying it isn't about Defraggler? - it's the OS update to 1803?
This problem is common to Windows 7 as well... they have a hotfix official file from Microsoft to Windows 7, but not to Windows 10 yet (or I didn't find).
-
I've accessed the Device Manager through Run...
I cannot see my NEC DVD drive there - it is simply wiped out from it by your software! Will the Defraggler uninstall work?
...I can't install what is needed now! I need the drive!
-
My last Windows 10 update hided out the Device Manager somewhere. When I hit Start > Search > typing Device... won't show the Device Manager.
Yes... I've used the Defraggler right after it install and it wiped out my NEC DVD drive from My Computer and the Device Manager both!
-
No, I can't see it there. It is wiped out from there somewhere (I did the check before the update).
The last OS update did the hide of the Device Manager. Should look for it, by the way.
-
Installed Defraggler right after OS re-install (Windows 10 32 Home) - can't see my NEC dvd drive at My Computer! ...I can't use it!
I need my drive to install games.
It is seen by my BIOS at the start-up, not working from OS field.
-
Right click ticked boxes ==> Keep / Add to Exclude. This should work. :-)
-
Firstly, remove it from "Keep" folder.
Step two: you should exit all macromedia products and internet browsers. Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to see if something is running that should be off.
Now, use CCleaner to clean-up cookies. It should work now.
Otherwise, use Auslogics Browser Care, it's freeware: http://www.auslogics...e/browser-care/
P.S. You can try cleaning in Safe Mode of your OS.

SORRY! I WON'T!
I didn't knew it's so restricted. :/

Tip
in Defraggler
How to make Defraggler's Quick Defrag defragment completely:
Open settings ==> Quick Defrag ==> set Custom mode ==> uncheck all boxes ==> check box "only Defragment files, that have fragments more than... set to 1. All fragmented files are more than 1 (min. is 2), so you're just fooling the system without fault.

No, no... I'm ready to Google my startups and help myself.
It's just I don't know which program/feature to use. Since AVG TU 2014 has a service deactivator - I don't know if it affects on startup items as well.
...if it does - I have a decision to make - use fansy TU 2014 to see how deactivation affects live bars, or use a context menu type, standard, specific deactivation from CCleaner. ..... TuneUp would cancel items that are program related, so that it's pretty much the same. I'd guess that if TU 2014 would cancel some program related service(s) and its startups - it would only auto-uncheck for CCleaner as well (some specific entries).
So it's pretty similar; I don't know.
P.S. AVG TuneUp Utilities 2014 users any?
-
Okay. What about my TuneUp Utilities 2014 deactivations? Anyone knows something about it, is experienced to suggest?
...I still don't understand why someone from here can't offer a "what to keep checked only" suggestion, just for fun.
-
hazelnut,
Could you review my startup logs and offer me an "uncheck all, mention what is checked" form suggestion?
Please mention the System startups, these should be enabled.
P.S. I have TuneUp Utilities 2014 from AVG; they have a program deactivator feature, it's exclusive. Could it be that program deactivator deactivates program services that are slowing down PC, including startup items?
-
Hello.
I wonder if CCleaner can perform a full backup of my registry.
Thanks in advance.

You would not leave your car engine running all the time just in case you wanted to use your car would you?
...I liked this.
No, I'm just keeping Skype for my online status for my friends, that's all. Whenever I turn on - there's Skype running, so that my friends can see me and I don't have to remember to launch it everytime for news income.
-
Thanks. So are you sure it's about Avira, you checked?
-
Hi.
This post is made due to CCleaner's fault of deleting some of the registry entries. In my case - it is simply one.
Some of helpers before told me it is associated with an Avira Free edition anti-virus. Here it is...
__________
Unused File Extension
{80b8c23c-16e0-4cd8-bbc3-cecec9a78b79}
HKCR\{80b8c23c-16e0-4cd8-bbc3-cecec9a78b79}
__________
It is exactly what CCleaner alerts.
Thanks in advance!

P.S. From my experience, I know that one registry keys are related to others. Might be I need a deep registry scan by some other software to identify what other registry entries are related to this specific key to batch remove it, or keep.
