Product: HP Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Desktop will not play a DVD in E: drive.  CyberLink's "Power DVD" software comes up & says I must purchase an upgrade in order to play a DVD.  Certainly this computer ought to be able to play a basic DVD without purchasing additional software.  How do I play a DVD in my E: drive?

Thanks so much.  Is there a way to stop the Cyberlink Power DVD from automatically appearing when a DVD is put in my E: drive?
