Update of Windows Media Player popup box of

Why do I see a box pop up very often which says that a Windows Media update is available. You want to update now?     YES NO

The only thing I can think is linked to it would be Windows Media Player. I spent on all programs and click on Windows Media Player and I don't see anything as most programs have as help - on Windows Media Player, so I don't know what version I have. And I don't really like. It works if I never use it, which is very rare.

Should I just click on YES in any case and let it update? I guess this will be free - or he had better be after all I've ever asked to harass!

    I was wondering... you are totally unable to download the file
    on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
    by car, but simply cannot display it?

    If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
    in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
    Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
    unchecking the box / apply / OK.

    It might be the next thread deals with the same issue...

    Hi zeetheleo,

    You will probably feature enabled in Windows Media Player programs and features.
     
    Windows Media Player is an integrated program that is provided with the operating system Windows 7 Professional.
     
    You cannot remove or uninstall Windows nedia Player, you can only turn it off by turning it off in programs and features.
     
    Turn on or off Windows features
     
    Note: Windows Media Player should be included under multimedia functions.

  • Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

    Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
    For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
    But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
    My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

  • Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

    These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

    Hello

    1. What is the exact error message you get?
    2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?
    3. do you have an error message when Internet Explorer throws you off the screen?

  • Windows Media Player Popup annoying, Sync

    Whenever I plug a USB device, such as a USB flash or a memory card - annoying _ sync in Windows Media Player displays a pop-up windows up - telling me to synchronize the device with WMP 11.

    Screenshot: I hate this feature. It annoys the _ out of me, I'm not in it, and I do not wish to leave hidden .xml or all kinds of other files WMP 11 written to disk in this function. I can manage my own files, thank you very much, and none of them are multimedia files in any case. Even if they are, WMP 11 can not read them anyway without having to install a bunch of codecs.

    In any case, I scoured the internet a couple of times already try to find a solution (but never find a)- and explains how to turn off this feature of microsoft in fact little more than more confused (first of all, there is no 'sync' tab in WMP 11, or I can't find it after spending 10 minutes trying to locate it).

    In any case, I would like to know a way to remove or prevent this useless feature to appear what I plug a USB key. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    EDIT:

    Wow, how are the hec words (and add a k) and hel (and add an l) regarded as swearing and filtered? Use them even 10 years. Seriously, Microsoft, seriously. They're even in shows of PG-13. What is this forum? Rated e for everyone? Or P for preschool?

    Actually to answer my own question, it seems that I found the solution in WMP 12 at least.

    In order to end the sync partnership and stop scanning, you must first ensure that automatic synchronization is enabled.

    Right click on the device in the Navigation and synchronization of the configuration pane.  Check the box for auto-sync and choose at least a playlist to synchronize.

    When you are finished, you will now be able to choose "end sync partnership.

    I hope this helps someone else as this has been annoying me for weeks and I could not find this solution everywhere.  I myself understand it for a change.  :)

  • Update of Windows Media Player stopped because it made my computer slow and now can't copy a CD

    The constant update of the Player Windows Media caused me go into options and uncheck the library update that didn't work so then I went to the library to manage and delete music files, photos, videos etc, which made the stop of Windows Media updated, but now I cannot rip CDs and an error message saying "Windows Media player cannot extract one or more tracks. the CD"that has occurred only since I took these actions.  I tried to back up my library, but the program I Include leaves nothing or I don't need to put in place the correct files.  Help, please!

    Hi Imogen...

    Updates to the WMP library can slow performance, but if you want to extract the music you need to have a default save location which will usually be the music folder.

    Under 'Organize' - managing libraries - music - click on the 'Add' button and restore the 'music' (or my music) by default and then click OK. The library must rebuild. Come back if you're still stuck, however. -Cheers, Ric.

    cannot click on the option of a security update for windows media player Web site

    Hi jeffndeb,

    (1) you get an error message?

    (2) that you get any notification or message to update the security component?

    I want to clarify if you are referring to the link below

    Method 2: There is a 32-bit version of IE7/IE8 in Vista which are located in the folder "Program Files x 86" in the Local C: drive.

    Navigate to the location and then try to run 32-bit Internet Explorer

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Double-click iexplore.exe to launch 32 bit Internet Explorer (IE) and then try to navigate to setting component security update link above, check if you can click on the upgrade button.

  • During an update in October 2016, Windows Media Player no longer exists

    During the 10.12/16 windows update the windows media player icon is missing. The file seems to be intact, but when it is activated, it acts like it has never been used before. I am surprised that a company as large as Microsoft cannot make a feasible "record player" - of the ideas or help?

    Sometimes it seems that WMP doesn't seem "reset" and need setting up again, probably as a result of an update of version WMP. Its happened to me once or twice. But just after the questions guides when you try to start it again, usually quickly gets this back.

    However, if it does not restore by itself, then try to run through this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ procedure to see if it helps.
