Firstly, windows 10 SHOULD show them the same way, try updating? (I'm in Ver 1703 and it does)
Secondly; 7+taskbar tweaker has a few relevent features:

You can add any progams/files you want right to a CD or dvd, and open it just like it were a folder on your other PC... Though I would recommend using a flash drive if you have one.. (they are pretty cheap online to), its faster and considerably more re-writable, and virtually all computers have a USB

Yes; sounds like an issue with the creators update, try sfc /scannow (with admin level command prompt) and see if it fixes the problem, otherwise you might need to do a fresh install (luckily windows 10 makes this painless, unluckily, since its so unstable you may need it alot)
