why cd drive open automatically

So i sort of pushed the cd in with a little force a few times. Restart your PC and check if the DVD drive is ejecting by itself. I have gone into settings > AutoPlay and selected Ask me everytime under both Removable Drive and Memory Card. Also, Uninstall the CD/DVD drivers from device manager. Right click on the DVD drive click uninstall. The CD tray randomly opens and the problem started with a BIOS update. If the disc inside the optical drive is a normal data CD/DVD without autorun.inf which instructs Windows to autoplay, selecting the drive will open Windows Explorer in the optical drive’s folder and lists its files and folders. In prior Windows, including 7 I was able to insert a cd or dvd in the drive close the door and the disk would automatically work. This can be done in the BIOS of the computer. This can be fixed by simply changing the order by which the computer looks for information to load the os (boot sequence). After about the 3rd try i noticed that when the cd was ejected something was underneath it. This time it took a little longer to eject. Every version since the initial release causes the CD tray to open randomly. Run dialog box would open type devmgmt.msc. Most automation tasks are specified in a file named autorun.inf. Device manager window will open. If I go back to the original BIOS version F.0A the tray stays closed. CD/DVD ROM ejects automatically - posted in Windows 10 Support: I am having trouble with my CD ROM opening inadvertantly while I am working or upon startup. Recently, I noticed that many people published posts saying Windows 10 won't recognize CD drive in different forums to seek help. Expand CD/DVD from the list. I would put my CD into the drive and it would immediately eject. Hold Windows key + Letter R key. Let me know if this helps! AutoPlay (also known as AutoRun) is a feature that automatically runs a program or opens a file on a removable drive or CD/DVD after connecting/inserting it. I have already changed the system preferences for when a CD/DVD is inserted to "ignore" or to "open other program"-- but it seems that iTunes 12 overrides these system preferences. To make things easier, Microsoft has a tool called DevCon to automate doing the same thing and acts as a command-line alternative to Device Manager. Thanks for trying to help, but that didn't really help. With Windows 10 it is like pulling teeth to get a dvd to play automatically. Your computer may be configured to look at the cd drive or dvd drive first. When this happens and there is no valid info for opening a os (windows) it tends to open up. I have tried BIOS versions F.13, F.22, F.23, F.28 and F.29. The AutoPlay configuration panel doesn't even have a selection specifically for the built-in optical disk drive, so I have to assume the cd/dvd drive is lumped under the rubrik of "removable drive" (the other choices being "memory card" of which I have none installed, and a USB attached device). Then do the same for enabling the drive again, the Enable option will be in the same place as Disable was on the menu. When i put the cd in i noticed it did not go as deep as it would normally go. I don't use iTunes, but I can't prevent it from automatically opening every time a CD is inserted. Thus, Windows will only open your CD-RW and DVD RW drive automatically if there is no disc been inserted yet. If the drive door remains open, see the section Check for foreign objects or hardware issues causing the drive tray to stay open . If I go back to BIOS version F.0A the CD tray operates normally. Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right click on the drive and select Disable. Some of them say the CD drive not showing up in File Explorer while others say the CD drive disappears from Disk Management. A CD drive or DVD drive is still necessary when installing a system or program on your PC. If the drive door closes fully and then opens automatically when Windows opens, see the section Check for software issues causing the drive tray to stay open.
