Please list your model and the operating system you are using.

Is this functionality that worked prior, or is it just now you're finding out you're having troubles?

As a preliminary, if the hardware still shows, it might be that you are lacking software to play the movie disc. In this event, try installing VideoLan's excellent gem of a media player VLC Media Player from their official site. It is free, open source, and can play virtually any format - including playing from a DVD disc.

Windows 8 (without the media upgrade) through 10 does not support DVD playback natively. You must install additional software to do this, such as the free offering listed above.
