    Hi,

    I have a t430 that had win7 installed and I configured power manager to automatically power off the cd drive. It worked as expected. I updated to win10 without turning that option off. I installed all lenovo drivers using the system update tool they provided for win10. windows 10 already includes all the updates up to today. But my optical drives only powers on after I interact with it (I power it on in 'this PC', or I open and close the cd tray).

    I need to burn a DVD and it powers off while burning :(

    Anyone has has solve this problem? I guess I can restore a win7 image and disable the auto-off feature and restore win10 image again but that will take me hours.
