How to fix Burning failure issue on iTunes

First, I bought this album and imported it to iTunes so it is not an iTunes “lease” or has copyright restrictions. I have gone through a stack of CD-R’s trying to burn a playlist. I have burned countless disc’s before so I am no stranger to the process. I either click the 3 dots in the upper right of playlist and choose burn playlist to disc or I click File>Burn Playlist to disc. These are new, never used before CD-R’s. It starts the burn process, the tracts appear at the top, then initializes and then stops. It indicates that there has been a failure to burn with an error code(0xC0AA020D). I am using an external CD/DVD Reader/Writer on a Dell laptop on Windows 11. I made sure my drivers are up to date. I did get three discs burned out of 11 attempts, so 8 of my blank discs were ruined. I am no computer genius, but I’ve been burning discs for 20 years. What has changed? Can anyone offer me some help?!
