I realise we could get into a blame game situation, with Samsung blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming Samung. The conclusion I have to come to is it would appear that perhaps one of the many Win 10 OS updates may have lead to this failure and Samsung do not appear to have addressed it by releasing an updated driver.

Oh and yes, I have tried different BD discs which I know to be working on other devices (including a built-in BD drive in one of the devices, confirming that it's not the CyberLink PowerDVD software, if there was any doubt there). scs.exe reported no problems found and the Win 10 troubleshooter just repeatedly says the device needs to be rebooted (I'm only prepared to reboot so many times.). I have also run scs.exe and the Win 10 troubleshooter. Colorful and stylish DVD-Writer SE-218GB AV Connectivity 2.0 Smart Power. I have tried using the manufacturer's supplied single cable and a split cable. Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology TSST ODD SUPPORT. I have tried the SE-506 on three different computers with three different Win 10 builds (Pro 1703, Home 1703 and Pro 1607). I am able to play DVD discs but once a BD disc is placed in the drive it spends ages not recognising the disc and then reports the drive empty to the OS (Win 10).
