Posted .Hi, Thark. Thank you for sharing what’s going on with your LG DVD Drive (SP80NB80) model. We understand how important it is for your drive and software to work smoothly on Windows 11, especially when it was given as a gift.
A helpful step you can try is to install the latest Windows 11 USB driver and ensure the CyberLink Media Suite software is fully updated, as older versions may not function correctly on newer operating systems. You can find support resources for your model here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-SP80NB80.AVAR10B. If the software still doesn’t perform as expected, feel free to send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can assist further. ^Juvy

Posted .Hi, Milton. Thank you for reaching out about your LG DVD Player (SP80NB80) model. We understand the importance of having a true plug‑and‑play experience, especially when you’re looking for a simple way to enjoy your DVDs.
One helpful step you can try is checking whether AutoPlay is enabled on your computer. On Windows 11, you can go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices → AutoPlay, then make sure AutoPlay is turned on and set the DVD option to “Ask me every time” or “Play DVD movie.” This often helps the system recognize external optical drives more reliably. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-SP80NB80.AVAR10B. We’d be glad to take a closer look and assist further. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ^Juvy
