I am using a Pioneer external disk drive that worked wonderfully with JRiver Media Center 23 (64-bit) before updating to Windows 10 Fall creators update. Now Media Center is broken. I have updated to the latest MC version (23.0.80-64 bit), I have reinstalled my Pioneer driver and installed the latest GeForce driver 388.13 (10-29-2017).

Is there a way to find out what values Windows 10 Fall creators update changed that broke Media Center?

What kind of drive is it?  CD?  How is it connected?

Did you try an Internet search?

Howdy JimH. Thanks for your reply.

The drive is a Pioneer BDR-XD05B, connected via a USB 3.0 cable. The B of XD05B denotes the color black and is unimportant. The drive supports BDXL, Blu-ray, DVD, and CD media. Up until the Windows 10 Fall creators update, DVDs played flawlessly using JRiver Media Center.

I've tried searching the Internet for solutions, including Tom's Hardware www.tomshardware.com/ and Windows Secrets https://windowssecrets.com/forums/

I may have spoken too soon about installing the latest GeForce driver 388.13. DVDs now play in Media Center, albeit not perfectly. DVDs take a long time to load, and there is still some stuttering while loading a DVD into MC, but once loaded, DVDs play normally. Prior to the GeForce update, on the rarer occasion that I could get a DVD to load, trying to switch to a different scene selection would crash MC and cause the DVD to continually spin in the drive. If instead of trying to select a scene, I could click fast forward to the next scene repeatedly until I got to the scene I wanted, and the DVD would play. Since the GeForce update, scene selecting works normally, as do other controls.
