Hi there,

I'm experiencing issues with the 2 DVD drives on my Mac Pro 5.1 (2009) and Windows 10.
While they work fine in macOS, on Windows, pressing the eject key on the keyboard doesn’t release the trays. However, if I open File Explorer and right-click on the DVD drive, then select “Eject,” the trays come out smoothly.
The issue arose when I swapped the DVD drive (Pioneer blu ray), in the first slot, and inserted it into the second slot, where a SuperMulti DVD drive was previously installed.

How can I solve this problem? On Windows 10, I would like to have a key or a keyboard shortcut to open and close the trays without having to click on the volumes to eject them every time.

Thank you

problem solved after the latest windows update.
Now I can open and close DVDs directly from the keyboard.
