Hello.
There was a previous thread which talked about using a specific combination of JAVA jre-8u321-windows-x64.exe + Kodi v20 KodiSetup-20210404-7ad079de-master-x64.exe which would display the Blu-Ray Menus correctly.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Kodi v20 KodiSetup-20210404-7ad079de-master-x64.exe?

Thanks in advance

v20 KodiSetup-20210404-7ad079de-master-x64.exe?

If that was a nightly build, it no longer exists. But later releases are made up from nightly builds, so whatever worked in that version, would work in later stable releases.
I know Kodi v21.0 displays bluray menus, but haven't checked with the new v21.1, but there should be no reason why it would not work.

Thank you for your help.

Some disks with 21.0 work and some do not. There was a post from several years ago where a user posted that only that specific build was the only version that works on all bluray menus.

Do you know if the problem could be my version of java? I'm using jre-8u321?

Thanks again.

I am using Version 8 Update 421 (build 1.8.0_421-b09)

Can you give me the titles of a few of the blurays that don't work for you, and if I have them, I can test it.

What problems are you having?

I've got this. Read the trilogy last month. Seeing as the sequels were never going to be made, wanted to know how the story ended. Nice ending to the story.

Tested it and worked fine. See video below.

And here is the log, playback starts at line 1000... https://paste.kodi.tv/oyisaribop.kodi

Fwiw, there are some pretty major differences between what works for you and what doesn't work for others.  If I'm not mistaken, here's a few I noticed taking a quick look and I'm not even sure if the OP is referring to SDR and/or HDR:

You - Windows 10.
Me - Windows 11.

You - No HDR capable monitor.
Me - Yes, HDR capable monitor.

Your desktop - 1080p 50Hz.
Mine - 2160p 60Hz.

You - Kodi 21.1
Me - Kodi 22 nightlies having moved on from 21 since it didn't work either.

Your source - 1080p SDR. 
My source - 2160p HDR. 

I have no problem with menus for any 1080p SDR just like you don't.  I appreciated watching your video proof but it's comparing apples to oranges in this case.  Thanks for that nonetheless.
The problems have always been 4k HDR UHD Blu-rays which are the examples I posted at your request.  
Many, if not most 4k HDR discs do not display menus however, some do and I do not know what makes them ok and others not. 
Most simply bypass menus and begin playing the main movie instead. 
Still others refuse to render anything after the display enters HDR mode which quickly returns to SDR mode and I'm met with a Kodi pop-up that says "Cannot play disc".
These discs that Kodi cannot play... do play in other players - not one fails.  They don't display menus but mount, play the main movie, and dismount when finished.
As far as I can decipher, there is nothing in Kodi logs revealing why some discs play and others don't.  I've posted many but they were never looked at.

Lastly, I am the one the OP is referring to.  Way back then, I kept very good spread sheets to provide ammo to the Kodi community hoping 4k HDR menus might be tackled.  I tried many combos of things providing what worked and what didn't - right down to the exact builds that began breaking menu support.  Realizing this issue wasn't of enough importance to others and wasn't going to be addressed, it became unimportant to me also.  Perhaps sometime in the future this problem will be important enough for a developer to address.  Until then, I install every new nightly and pay attention to every new thread regarding no menu support using 4k HDR.

Sorry, but nowhere in this thread was there any mention of 4k HDR UHD Blurays.
I don't have any.

I don't recall any mention by the developers about 4k disks and the bluray menu system. I am guessing it has never been implemented?

No.  That was my workaround back at that time.  Now I use v.22 nightlies and forgo some of the menus opting to play just the main movie.  When Kodi pops-up the message "cannot play disc", there is still the option to play the main movie which bypasses trying to start from the discs menu which is better than not playing at all.  Keep in mind, some 4k HDR titles do indeed start from the disc menu nowadays and function perfectly which is an advancement from previous builds dependent on components outside of Kodi.  The couple of specific v.20 builds combined with the specific JAVA build really isn't the best workaround anymore. 

V21.1 is a static stable build while v.22 offers experimental improvements of v.21.1 often (but not always) at the price of instability and/or malfunction like the one I am experiencing now using the last few builds - playing long ago scraped 4k HDR discs results in them erroneously being added as newly discovered additions to the library even though they've been in the library for years.  So they show up in newly added category shortcuts even though they aren't.  Attempting to play these newly added addition(s) results in "This file no longer exists, would you like to remove it" which I do. 

Sometimes this entry is removed from just the newly added category shortcuts... other times it removes every instance of the title(s) and must be re-scraped resulting in loss of all customization that may have been done such as artwork and other custom shortcuts for a title.  This new problem never existed before in any builds.  It's been introduced recently.  The remedy is installing a previous build before the problem and hope the error is caught by those tweaking v.22.  This is the price one pays for using experimental builds.  They are not for everyone.  I suggest you install the latest stable version and wait for a release of a newer stable version which may or may not address features you'd like to be implemented.  Lastly, there is a thread in this Kodi forum where you can request features to be added/improved and it wouldn't hurt to try.  I've noticed the squeaky wheel usually gets the oil.   https://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=9
