The message about needing to upgrade or downgrade the firmware, I’ve never done that.
My Asus drive has a firmware to make it a UHD drive (technically it is, but sold as a Blu-ray drive).
The other one is a UHD drive from LG.
In all my years with Passkey I’ve never let it touch my drives.
I really think there is either a issue with the program since a couple of versions, or Windows doing something new and weird, because it can.
But I have no proof, and since we can’t download older versions of Passkey I can’t test it either.
I’ve been holding of ripping Blu-ray series for months now because of this issue.
Having to reboot the computer after each disc is simply not acceptable.
