Insert Disc keeps popping up

[velocityg4]

Although this isn't a Windows on Mac issue. This is a regular Windows issue which keeps popping up for an unknown reason. As this is the closest forum category I'm posting here.

For some reason. Whenever my Windows computer wakes from sleep. Some event keeps popping up a message to insert a DVD into my computer and the drive pops open. I can't figure out why this is happening. I've checked the Event Viewer and see no messages relating to it. I've tried inserting a blank disc and the dialogue closes but does nothing. No malware has been detected on any scan I've run either.

I'm not trying to actually do anything with the drive. The drive itself works fine, I can read and write to CD and DVD.

I'll just be on the web, working on a Word or Excel file or some other mundane activity. Suddenly the drive pops open, a blank file explorer windows opens and the dialog to "Insert disc" "Insert a disc" "Please insert a disc into drive D:".

The computer has a clean install of Windows 10 Pro (within the last week), my basic productivity applications, antivirus and printer software. Which is the same setup I always used before the hard drive failed and I had to replace it.
[doublepost=1479924173][/doublepost]I was wrong. Inserting a blank disc does not make it disappear. It just was hidden.

The drive letter randomly changes as well. But the DVD drive still pops open. Here is a screenshot for G:.

A couple of troubleshooting steps --

Start in Safe Mode to test.

If you have a problem with your PC, you can troubleshoot by starting it in safe mode. Safe mode starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start your PC in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as possible causes.[...]

Do a Clean Boot.

When you start Windows by using a normal startup operation, several applications and services start automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include basic system processes, antivirus software, system utility applications, and other software that has been previously installed. These applications and services can cause software conflicts.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10.[...]

If you get a clue from either of those steps, you can use autoruns from technet to prevent an app from running at boot. Or, you can use it as a tool for a process of elimination to see if a start-up item is causing the behavior.

If none of that works, you could try adjusting your auto-play settings as a work-around.

I would suggest you to contact your Drive Manufacturer in order to get the recovery tool or fix.
Since your drive is working good it could be problem with some sort of application which causing this issue.

Thank you,
