The whole Opus process is being run elevated (as administrator), which will block the "media inserted/removed" events from reaching Opus.
Things like antivirus could also block the events reaching the Opus process, in theory, but I've never heard of that happening for these events.
Using UAC and Admin Mode from within Opus is fine. Launching the entire dopus.exe process elevated is not, as it will make it impossible for parts of the Windows shell to talk to parts of Opus.
Or:
The drive does not properly generate "media inserted/removed" events, so Windows does not know when a disk is put in and does not tell anything else, making the drive loop empty. This would be a flaw in the drive itself (or its firmware), but several drives on the market have this flaw.
If this is what's happening, Explorer won't notice the change either if you are already looking at This PC when you insert a disc, but it may notice it after a few seconds. (Explorer periodically checks if you're viewing This PC, in case of a bad device that doesn't notify on insert/remove.) If Explorer then realises there is a disc in the drive, it will broadcast an event telling other software of it, and Opus will then update automatically as well. (But only if Explorer is open and viewing This PC or something that shows the drive.)
You can configure Opus not to hide empty drives if hiding them causes problems with devices that don't properly notify Windows when they become non-empty.

How to do this? I have the same issue with external DVD Burner. ~ thanks
