Part 3: Free DVD Player Alternatives for VLC Leawo Blu-ray Player Finally, if there is a DVD hardware glitch, then you probably have to rip the DVD to digital video in order to play it.

The DVD player feature is not as popular as it was in the past and removing it reduced the cost of a copy of Windows 10 by eliminating the need to pay licensing fees for the patented technologies associated with DVD playback. The Windows 10 version of Windows Media Player can't play DVDs because Microsoft intentionally removed that feature. I think you will need to install other DVD player software to play your DVD and it might need to be paid, licensed software.
