Optical drive acting really oddly?

The optical drive is picked up by the BIOS, but not Windows Explorer, Piriform Speccy or Partition management. (The drive itself, not any media. It doesn't detect any discs either)

It's a Windows 10 PC, with an Asus AM3+ motherboard. It is enabled in the BIOS, but is forced into IDE mode, because of other settings.

Main Gaming Rig:

Spoiler

Core i7-4770, Cryorig M9i Cooler, ASUS B85M GAMER, 8GB HyperX Fury Red 2x4GB 1866MHz, KFA2 GTX 970 Infin8 Black Edition "4GB", 1TB Seagate SSHD, 256GB Crucial m4 SSD, 60GB Corsair SSD for Kerbal and game servers, Thermaltake Core V21 Case, EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2.

Secondary PC:

Spoiler

i5-2500k OCed, Raijintek Themis, Intel Z77GA-70K, 8GB HyperX Genesis in grey, GTX 750 Ti, Gamemax Falcon case.

I had this problem I had to google a guide on how to manually add it in the registry. But that worked.

I am a paid professional, but only when I am at work...and getting paid.

Is it just me, or is the registry generally really irritating?

Well, yeah it gets old fast. You could try a fresh os installation but it may still not show up. It's an odd bug.
