disc burning Windows 10 update pkg

Hello

I cannot burn discs with this new Win 10 update package and don't know if it was 10 or the update as I have not done so for a while.

I have to format each DVD I wish to use an then it works.

IMGBURN is too hard for me and Ashampoo is now so different I cannot use it.

I tried to remove Ashampoo with Wise program remover as Revo could not but it did not do a very good job.

 I have tried different brands and my current ones used to work..

Am I doing something wrong?

TY

Peter

Give CDBurnerXP a try. Pretty straight forward I think: https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home

 

Operating Systems: Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista/2008 Server/Win7/Win8/2012 Server/Win10 (x86 / x64)

I did try it but at the time it did not have MP4 capabilities. That may have changed.

I did get the new ver of Win to work as a burner but oddly and for the first time it required that I format discs before it recognizes them. I am using the same dvds I always did.

No, still no MP4 support.

What exactly do you do? Step by step please. I'd like to try it and see what happens for me.

I burn mp4 movies from a Canon camera - CDBurnerXP tells you It does not support this file type. 

I open the files to view. Then I select the videos and after opening the burner, drag and drop. I then burn to disc. With Win 10 the discs must be formatted.

I hope you got my alleged trick to bypassing the splash screen on lock screen.

I think this is what requires you to format. Try right click and Sent to then select the DVD RW drive instead.

The splash screen trick did not work for me. I think it may be Enterprise. Just curious.

So you suggest I right click on the files to be burned and use send to rather than drag and drop? I'll give it a try.

P.S. My 2 machines are slower with this new update. It could be that 6 GB RAM is insufficient - the machines are 5 years old.

I much prefer the way it was prior to the service pack. I notice under Windows[fie explorer] at the bottom is Windows update  folder which is full. Is that the way it should be?

Peter, just found this link which sounds promising: Top 13 DVD Burning Tools to Burn MP4 to DVD for Free

I don't see that. Can you post a screen capture that shows it?

1st, thank you for the referral for burners.

2nd I hope the prtscn comes through.

Lastly my machines are slow and run poorly  since the update - any advice? I see it all over the web.

Ah, the Windows10Upgrade folder. I believe that is now created by Media Creation Tool when you upgrade to the Anniversary update. I can't remember if I deleted it after the update or not, but I think it eventually went away on it's own.

Peter, you might want to consider doing a Clean Install of the Anniversary update. You have good backups so restoring your data should be a snap after a Clean install.

Also, what does Device Manger look like? Any yellow marks or missing drivers (only the Microsoft generic driver installed for a device)?

A Clean Boot is always a good way to try to figure ouot what is causing a slow or unstable system.

Hi Rich

I imaged back to 1507 and checked defer. I hope there is a fix as I see so many people having trouble. I will do a clean install if necessary.

Your link showed how to ?prepare as I saw no mention of how to do the clean install?

I have an ISO from Tech Bench of Win 10 Pro.

When i did a clean install of the laptop there was no provision to work with partitions as I like to have the reservee one even though I don't use it.

Could you comment on my ISO from Tech Bench [using the better of .WIM and .ESD[ as to how I perform this other than what i did?

>I booted off the ISO and followed prompts, none showing partition choices. It did install but I created a cd as the stick would not work and reimaged to 7-22 1507 with a check next to defer.

There are many on the www with issues and I think there will be a fix.

P.S. Device manager is fine and thank you.

Peter

The link I gace you was how to do a Clean Boot, not a Clean Install.

I am using it; thanks.
