Why Windows Media Center keep telling me that there is no internet connection?

I try to use Windows Media Center, but it keeps telling me that there is no internet connection.  The connection is there because I can run all internet programs.  I use McAfee and I left full access to Windows Media Center without result. What to do next?

Hello

Step 1:

Try to check the clean boot state.

    Action Center keeps telling me that Bullguard firewall or antivirus AI swiched off the power. I check bullguard and everything is ok. What is going on?

    Dear rt00

    Please note that when you start your computer, it loads first your operating system (Windows), then other applications that are set to run at startup. Depending on the amount of RAM that your machine and also on the number of programs that need to be loaded, this process can take a long time to complete.
    Because at the start of Windows Security Center modules of BullGuard are still waiting for Windows to load them (through the svchost process), it signals that you are not protected. This warning should fade after a few minutes.
    If this isn't the case, I recommend that you contact us at http://www.BullGuard.com .

  • Why Windows Media Center does not display tile of Internet TV?

    Does not accept downloads

    Hello, Packard37

    You are in the US, UK or elsewhere?

    Internet TV is available only in the United States and the United Kingdom - assuming that you are located in the United States / UK:

    Check your region settings in Windows. Go to start > Control Panel > clock, language and region > region and language. On the location tab, make sure that the country is selected in the administration tab, make sure that the language is also correct as well, otherwise click the settings change system locale.

    Go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the following command and press ENTER: start/wait %windir%\ehome\mcupdate - uf-nogc

    After you run this command, open Media Center and check if it is available, otherwise, you may need to reset the Media Center, note that this operation removes all custom settings and you will need to re-run the installation again:

    Open the command prompt, as described above once again and then type the following command and press ENTER: MediaCenterRecoveryTask - %SystemRoot%\ehome\mcupdate.exe

    One time only complete, open Media Center and run through the configuration. If you do not immediately see the Internet TV, let Media Center open for about 5-10 minutes, then restart and check if it is available or not.

    Hello Christian Santana.

    If karena information do not help to solve your Media Center doesn't work is no problem, you can try to see if creating a new user account
    will help you get WMC works for you. I have seen several questions when a damaged user account has caused problems with WMC.

    You can also try and see if you have any 3rd party codecs that can interfere with WMC. You can uninstall by Add/Remove programs in the control panel.

    If you need a list of the codecs installed on your computer, follow these steps:

    1. on the Help menu, click about Windows Media Player.

    If the Help menu is not visible, show the Classic Menus.

    2. in the dialog box on Windows Media Player, click Technical Support information.

    Your Web browser opens a page that contains information about the related binary files, codecs, filters, plug-ins and services installed on your computer.

    I hope this helps.
