Just got a win10 laptop with Intel HD5300 graphics and just added a USB Bluray drive (Samsung SB506). TBH really only wanted a DVD drive but saw the Bluray drive going cheap in the rainforest warehouse (plus 30% discount as I;m assuming they're clearing space for post Christmas returns!) so Bluray was a nice extra and not a requirement ... however so far not finding I can play blurays - PowerDVD is bundled with the drive but that reports that the graphics driver "needs updating" to support HDCP - however it is the latest version and looking at Intrl support they say that they only support Bluray on win7 and 8/8.1 .... so is there any way to get bluray playback at the moment or do I just have to wait for Intel to get rounf to updating their win10 drivers? As mentioned earlier its no great loss but having bought a bluray drive it would be nice to be able to play blurays!

try leawo's blu ray player, works pretty well in my opinion plus it's free.

I can't say if it will work with intel though as I run it off a nvidia card but don't see why not.

Thanks ... initially thought it didn't work as I just got a "this disc only works on region B players" and I knew from setting up PowerDVD that it was region B. Tried it on another PC with WIn7 to try to isolate win10 issues and PowerDVD worked but Leawo still didn't ... and then I discovered the settings menu where you can force the players region (by default its "auto" and I assume BluRay discs play the same trick that DVDs did of asking the player if its set to a certain region and if the player uses an auto response of "yes" it simply says "can;t play then as that's not my region")... Leawo worked and setting it to region B (from Auto) on win10 found it also works there so its all sorted!
