Media player on the taskbar has no icon

Windows media player is pinned to the taskbar, but it's just an empty application icon... windows media icon is missing, and nothing that I don't seem to get it back.

I can detach and repin... but it does not give the file an icon... the program in the start menu is fine, it works... but the icon is missing.

How can I fix?

Thank you

Click 'Start' then right click on an empty area of the start menu and then click on 'Properties' then click on 'Customize' and then click 'Use defaults' and/or check the settings in this window.

  • Icon for Windows Media Player in the taskbar

    I changed the icon of the shortcut of Windows Media Player.  When I open Windows Media Player, I would like the icon in the taskbar to be the same icon for the shortcut.  How can I accomplish this?

    Windows 10.

    As you can see in the video, I followed the 'instructions' perfectly exactly, but clicking on the newly pinned icon translates into an 'extra' icon (the icon of Windows Media Player).  Of course, the pinned custom icon remains, of course, but another appears.  And it happens the same on all operating systems that allow pinning to taskbar (7, 8, 8.1 and 10.) If you can show otherwise I'll PayPal payment for your trouble.

  • The icon of firefox on the desktop and the taskbar has changed, how can I change this back.

    Recently, I installed firefox on another computer and doing other things, I then noticed that the icon in the taskbar had changed and when I tried to put the shortcut on the desktop, the icon that is displayed is a file folder. I want just the icon of firefox back.

    Windows Media Player and libraries contain no files, you just tell him

    For other users to access the same files, place them in a folder accessible

    Help, please. Thank you
    original title: Windows Media Player Script error

    I solved this on my machine after a few game.

    When you arrive at the last stage of the search for album information, before you click on finish, click the small globe in the upper left corner of the dialog box.  This refreshes the connection to the server.  Click on finish, then it started working again.

    Refresh a couple of times before that it worked but so far 2 of 2 machines working again on my other maching.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you thank you. Sometimes, it takes "Refresh" several times but finally the player "seems" to calm down.
