• my windows 7 will not let me turn off windows media center

  Hello

  To enable disable Windows Media Center (WMC), follow these steps:

  1. click on the Start button and select Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. click on or turn off Windows features turn on on the left pane.

  4. develop the multimedia features and uncheck Windows Media Center.

  5. click on Yes and OK to continue.

  6. restart the computer.

  WMC would disappear now.

  Please note that WMC remains stored on your hard drive and you can turn it back on if you want. Turning off WMC does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of disk space used by the same.

• Xbox 360 connects to Windows Media Center (Windows 7-64 bit)

  I can't get my Xbox to connect to Windows Media Center.  When I ran Vista it would work, but now that I am on Windows 7, 64-bit, it just does not connect.  The strange thing is that I'm able to share media from my PC to the Xbox without fail.  In addition, Windows Media Center has detected the Xbox on the network.  But for some reason, the Xbox cannot find the Windows Media Center.  It makes no sense at all.  I even tried disabling the Windows Firewall to see if it would work, but it didn't.  There is no other firewall in my home network.  Help, please.

• Windows Media Center starts by itself

  Windows Media Center starts by itself all the time. If I close the lid on my laptop, it starts. I open my laptop at other times and it will be opened. I do not use the media center. Is how to disable it? I am running Windows Vista.

  Hello world!

  I just wanted to clear the confusion.
  Marilyn's response suggests to remove WMC start-up, that the OP has not mentioned in their first post. Given that the OP has not returned more than 7 days, it is assumed the following steps solved the problem and is then marked as answer.
  Since many of you have tried these steps and they did not help, I've unmarked at the station.
  Regarding a solution, many of you are looking for a way to simply disable Windows Media Center entirely. I must point out that if you are using Windows 7 you can quickly and easily disable this feature using 'Windows turn features on or off'. But being given that most (if not all) of you are using Vista, I'm going to press.
  There are many ways to skin this cat:
  Has. Disable the Services Windows Media Center
  1. Click Start, type services.msc and pressenter
  2. Find Windows Media Center Extender Service and double click it
  3. On the general tab, change the Startup Type to disabled , and then click OK to close this window
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Windows Media Center Receiver Service,Windows Media Center Scheduler Service , andWindows Media Center Service Launcher
  5. Close the window Services and reboot
  B. Disable Windows Media Center via Group Policy (Note: is not an option for users of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium)
  1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc , and then press enter
  2. Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Windows components > Windows Media Center
  3. In the right pane, double-click the policy (do not allow Windows Media Center to run)
  4. Select active (sounds weird but this will indeed prevent WMC to run), and then clickOKto close this window
  5. Close the local Group Policy Editor , and then restart
  C. Disable Windows Media Center via the registry
  1. Click Start, type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > policies > Microsoft
  3. Right click on Microsoft and choose new >key
  4. Name the WindowsMediaCenter key, and then press enter
  5. Right click on the key that you just created and choose new > DWORD (32-bit) Value
  6. Name the MediaCenter DWORD, and then press enter two times
  7. Change the value to hexadecimal 1 and press OK
  8. Close the registry editor and then restart
  You really need to perform one of the patches above for Windows Media Center must be disabled.
  Let me know if the above help solves your problem!

• Issue of Windows Media Center

  Hi, before 20 October 2014, I had not used my laptop since 20 December 2013 as I moved house. When starting my computer, a message came up saying that I had to install updates. So I clicked the button to start the process.

  PROBLEM 1) after getting all the updates, appeared a new desktop called 'Windows Media Center' case. No matter what I do, I can't remove it from my office, and it automatically opens all the time. When I click on Microsoft Office Word, and then open Windows Media Center and I can't access Microsoft Office Word. Windows Media Center has also changed a lot of my program icons on my desktop to Windows Media Center.

  Help is sought urgently because I now live in the country in an area of remote access and my computer is connected to my laptop - so I have limited data

  My computer is Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office 2010

  Thank you

  I'll leave your other Thread to the crew in the Virus and malware Forum.

  Just a couple of things about it.

  1. you have never given us any indication that Windows Media Center has been Malware in this thread.

  2. you say that you have downloaded AVG, even further into it you say you have always installed case, even if the subscription has expired.

  You can not have 2 antivirus installed without having any problems with your system.

  3 AVG and McAfee both disable Windows Defender by default.

  See you soon.

• Problems with reorded/live TV in Windows Media Center/player

  Having recently updated the drivers for my graphics (Nvidea GeForce GTX 460 SE) Windows Media Player/Center refuses to show any video image during an attempt to play live TV or TV recorded previously. I only get audio.
  My drivers are up to date and the only thing I can think that I've changed has been updated my graphic drivers. This is television shows that were working before.
  I have been using a third-party program to play these in the meantime, but obviously it is not compatible with my remote windows.
  Any suggestions?

  If it all started after updating the graphics driver, you can easily restore the driver.

  Try to card tv tuner driver update. Visit the tv tuner card manufacturer's Web site to download and install the latest version of the driver.

  Another thing, you could try resets WMC: -.

  Run the Setup again.

  Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

  Does that help?

  If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

  Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

  Now reconfigure WMC again.

  I would also suggest you to uninstall any third-party application you are using at the moment.
