Solution 1

Press [Windows] + [R] and type regedit and press [Enter]. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0
Create a new Dword value (same bit version as for your system) and Rename it as EnumDevices 1.
Double click on the EnumDevice1 and set its value to 1. Close the registry and restart your system.

Solution 2

Instead of using the registy, you can use the following command:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
Open an elevated command prompt and enter the above command.
