This is no dvd file type in the list. I do have changed the autoplay option of DVD video. Autoplay works well, but neither the "Play" option nor double click.

I'm having the same problems. DVD's play fine when I insert them, but if I stop viewing them and try opening them, I get the error unless I use AutoPlay.
There is no way to set a default program for the DVD that I have found yet.
Any solutions?

Upgrading to Windows 10 broke the double-click option for DVDs, and this fixed it. Thanks!
