Some Windows users see the “A Disk Burner Wasn’t Found” error when trying to burn an image to a disc using the native Image Burner client (isoburn.exe).
After investigating this problem in particular, it turns out that there are several potential causes that could be causing this Windows 10 problem.
- The DVD-ROM cannot be written
- Windows 10 problem
- Explorer.exe is stuck in a “pending state”
- Inconsistent / damaged DVD-RW driver
- IsoBurn.exe is waiting for an empty disc

Use Windows Media Player
We recommend using Windows Media Player to burn pictures. Follow the steps below:
- Open Windows Media Player.
- In the player library, select> Burn tab>
- Engraving options.
- Select audio CD or data CD or DVD.
- Insert a blank CD into the CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives.)
- Find the items in the drive library that you want to burn to disc and drag them to the list area (on the right side of the drive library) to create a burn list.
- At the bottom of the list, select Start Burning.
Note: If necessary, click the Clear List button to remove all items from the previous burn list.

We highly recommend that you use this tool for your error. Furthermore, this tool detects and removes common computer errors, protects you from loss of files, malware, and hardware failures, and optimizes your device for maximum performance. This software will help you fix your PC problems and prevent others from happening again:
- Step 1 : Install PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista).

Before trying other fixes, you should start troubleshooting by noting that your CD or DVD writer has write capabilities. Note that if you try to burn a CD or DVD using only a standard ROM drive, none of the possible fixes listed below will work.
To find out if your current optical drive can burn CDs and DVDs, open File Explorer, navigate to this PC and look at the name of your alleged DVD drive on the right side of the screen.
If the optical drive name contains the abbreviation RW (read / write access), it must be able to burn discs using the native burner utility (isoburn.exe).

You can also run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to diagnose the exact problem.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot:
- Press “Windows Key + W”.
- Type “troubleshoot” without the quotes in the search box and press Enter.

Restart and Launch Windows Explorer via Command Prompt
Open an elevated cmd window:
