Hi, I have a dell Inspiron one 2305 All in one PC. Factory loaded with windows 7, I updated to Window 10. on a Update Oct 30 2016, I lost my Optical disk reader. Also My cortana Stopped seaching, I can't Type in a question at all. I used the trouble shooter it said it cant find a problem. It said the drive is working fine, But its not reading or burning disks. I used the dell fix it and check, it told me to update the drivers. I did it said I have the lastest drivers. I scared to do a reload of win 10 because i have no backup drive it it fails, to use to disk with. help?

Right click the start button and from the context menu choose....... Command Prompt (Admin) and in the command prompt window type
reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
hit enter
Reboot your computer.
See if your Optical Drive is back.
