Press Windows+E key on your keyboard to Open File explorer.
Locate the CD/DVD drive and Right click it.
Choose Autoplay.
If you are presented a list of options, select Play Media using Movies app/any 3rd party player like VLC.
Let us know how that goes.
Always include PC Specs, Make and Model of the device. Ensure all the latest quality updates have been installed. It may take multiple replies to reach a satisfactory answer.

I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.
It is better to use VLC Media Player which has all the codecs required and will play all the audio and video files.
To download VLC - https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.

Hi. Thanks for this: I've followed your guidance and tracked down the CD/DVD drive and although it didn't give me the option to autoplay , I selected Open and it's playing the CD now.
Many thanks again... I might be back :<)
