Windows 10 Windows 10 set DVD drive region by itself. How to return it to original state safely?

[Lucas_Miller]

Yesterday I found out that my DVD drive had region changed to Region 2. I did not do that change. Previously I had 5 changes and no region set. That's how I want it to be. But somehow, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, something has changed the region. This has used up one of my possible changes. I only used BurnAware recently but that has no setting to change regions there. Then another such last major change was windows update. In windows logs I only found bunch of errors regarding bad block on DVD disc and then this thing which looked a bit suspicious: Device \Device\CdRom0 is locked for exclusive access. What is that? What could have caused this to happen? And most importantly: HOW CAN I RETURN MY DVD DRIVE BACK TO ORIGINAL STATE?? I want it as I had it: Changes left 5, Region not set.



Thanks for any help.



Edit: The BurnAware is not run as administrator.
