    Hello

    You can view these methods:
    Method 1:
    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:
    I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate?

    How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate

    Hello

    Method 1:
    I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
    Method 2:
    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Method 3:
    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.
    To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

    1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

    Method 4:
    In the case where the duplicates are not removed:
    There are also third-party applications to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks in Windows Media Player 12 duplicate.
     
    DISCLAIMER

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
