Although VLC is one of the widely used media players across the globe, you need to tweak the app in order to make it play Blu-ray discs for you.
If you merely wish to watch movies using Blu-ray media, it would be good to get any free player that is specifically tailored to do so. There are many such players available online that come both with and without price tag. At the time of this writing, a few such programs, among many others, are CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra (shareware), Aurora Blu-ray Media Player (shareware), Leawo Blu-ray Player (freeware), DAPlayer (freeware), DVDFab Player 5 (shareware), etc.
Depending on your budget and your choice, you can choose any of the available Blu-ray players for your Windows 10 PC.
Here’s how you can download and install your preferred Blu-ray player (Leawo Blu-ray Player for this example) on your computer running Windows 10:
Step 1
Get to the download page
Launch your favorite web browser (Microsoft Edge for this example), type the URL of the Blu-ray player’s vendor’s official website in the address bar (https://leawo.com/blu-ray-player for this example), and press Enter. This opens the vendor’s web page. Depending on the URL and the page it redirects its visitors to, you may land directly to the one that lets you download the player.
Step 2
Install the player
Click the Download button (available for almost all players), click Run from the bottom (appears in Microsoft Edge, whereas other browsers may show different options to download and install), wait while the player is downloaded and Windows automatically initiates the installation, and follow the on-screen instructions from there to complete the process. This installs your preferred Blu-ray player on your Windows 10 PC. Depending on the type of player you downloaded, you may have to complete the registration/activation process upon successful install before you can begin using it.
Step 3
Launch and use the player
Double-click the player’s shortcut icon from the desktop (or from the Start menu if the desktop shortcut wasn’t created), and follow the on-screen instructions to personalize the player. This configures the player’s settings to best fit your preferences, and launches the player for you to play your favorite movies in Blu-ray quality. Fortunately, some players also allow you to perform other tasks like conversions, burning the media to a different disc, etc.
