Last evening I wanted to play a game I have that is quite old so its a physical copy rather than a digital one. It works fine on Windows 10 and I've never had any issues with it until last night where when I put the disc in it was spinning and seemed to load but it never actually booted up. I was confused because I was playing the game two weeks ago but I took into account that there was a Windows 10 update a few days ago and thats probably why its not starting but I tried restarting the computer, running as an admin and trying to boot the game through Steam.

I decided to back the game up on a flash drive and uninstall and reinstall once its done, while it was transferring over from my HDD to the flash drive I decided to watch a movie I bought last week. I put in the disc, it spun but its not playing.

I then plug in an external disc drive which works fine on my dads laptop but then does the exact same thing as my internal disc drive on my PC. This is what makes me think this is a software issue with my PC.

Its definitely not because either discs are damaged or scratched they're both in mint condition. Is there any possible fixes to this?
