• Windows Media Player 12 - slow to update the library

  I have a big disco 50K more songs.  I recently moved the music to a harsh new Bank and changed the directory structure.  I deleted the music library WMP (by removing everything C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player), open from WMP12 and so went to file/manage libraries added in each of the directories music where the music is stored.  As expected, WMP began to read music and I can see the songs populating the library as they come.

  The problem is that this is happening very slowly.  As about 2 seconds per song.  At this rate, it will be almost 4 days of continuous operation to completely rebuild the library.  I got it done in the past (but maybe not with WMP12?), but never experienced this kind of snails pace update.  Any ideas on what could be causing it to ad to the library files so slowly or what I can do to speed things up to?

  Thank you

• Windows Media Player keeps adding files to the image library

  Why Windows Media Player (version 12.0.10011.16397 on Windows 10) continue to add folders to the photo library? I have used libraries to manage all files-> deleted photos and add the only folder I want. After a while, even without having to restart Media Player, the default images and OneDrive files reappear. Please can someone stop this madness?

  I found the answer to this question. I had problems with cancelled OneDrive and re-Binder tries to solve the problem. In turn, every time I re-related OneDrive the additional files got added to the Media Player automatically and without notice.

• Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

  We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

  I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  Nolan

  (Moved to programs)

  Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

  Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

  But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

• Windows Media player 12 will not update DRM

  Hello

  I use my local library's digital download service. I tried to download a digital book... and he tells me that I need to improve my 25.00.0 to 25.00.1 DRM... or something like that.

  Then I followed the instructions of programs... no upgrade

  So I tried the link to Microsoft, they provided for use in Internet Explorer... There is a button to upgrade, but it turns so it can be pressed.

  Then I went into Media Player and looked to see if it had to be upgraded... says that it is fully upgraded.

  Ok... I'm fresh out of ideas... anyone else have an idea?

  Thank you
