I tried all the 'resolution' items on including resolution 5 which seems to have worked for most people with this problem.
Looking at the current state, it says the drive is currently disconnected, but I have verified all cable are intact and work with a different optical drive.
I can get it to show in the device manager after I set to view hidden items. The 'place holder' has title 'cd drive' before it dissappears.

I can see the drive temporarily after I uninstall the driver and reboot. I'm using Windows 10, sorry I don't know the build number.
The drive is recognized by the bios and even a Windows 8.1 installation disk - I can get to all the Windows recovery tools included with the disk. As far as I can tell through my research, optical disk drives use the same 'cdrom' driver that's used for all drives, no matter what their capability or manufacturer. I have this exact same problem, including the same drive, but on a home built computer.
