    I can no longer burn discs since the upgrade to Win 11.
    I keep getting a medium error message using 3 different
    burning software.
    Ashampoo
    NCH Express
    Windows media

    I use Verbatim discs and also bought a Verbatim external
    cd writer and still get the same error message!!!

    Called Dell support, they did a remote scan and all and suggested that i do a system restore back win 10.
    Not sure what to do.
    Do u have any suggestions?
    Thank You,
    Gary

    What write speed are you using? If possible, try burning around 2x.

    You should be able to burn a cd. It's supported by your drive. It would help if you tried one to see if a fix I have in mind would work.

    With this procedure, you might want to first run a system restore point or perhaps save the key in your registry before proceeding-

    Run regedit.

    Go here-

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Click on Upper Filters. In Edit, select Delete.

    Save

    Reboot.

    Try a burn.

    Dell support wanted me to do a one but do a backup first.
    I'm new to this.

    Right click on the subkey and select Export. Give it a location and name you can remember. If necessary, you can import it back into the registry later.

    Have you had time to try what I suggested? Also, are you able to play a CD or DVD?

    As a courtesy, would you identify if what I suggested helped or if you need more help?

    I don't think so especially as he has been a member for 14yrs & 103 posts.
