Windows Media Player is unable to store settings of library management
Everytime I open WMP a message in the lower bar tells me THAT WMP is update of libraries of music, video and photo.
This slows down my computer and WMP lock causes.
I don't want my music library updated, I go to libraries to manage and delete addresses stored video & photo library, then save and exit.
However, whenever I do this, WMP fails to save my changes and I have the same problem the next time I open WMP. My video and photo library folders reappear in the WMP library locations list.
Its for this reason that I no longer use Windows Explorer, as I was sick of having to adjust the width of the columns, types of columns, types of icons, etc, whenever I opened it.
Fortunately, I found some file management software not Microsoft that handles this simple task.
Is it so hard for your software to store the settings? Is anyway at all to prevent WMP video update and photo libraries everytime I open WMP? I tried many things, but nothing works.
Concerning
John C
Let us know how it goes btw, I forgot to mention another method of navigation that can put files in WMP... If you have links to 'Pictures' and 'Video' in your Start menu and click on them it seems also to recover (not what you want) in order to avoid their use, or better still to delete... Right click on the taskbar -'Properties' - tab "Start menu" - "Customize" - and scroll down to 'Photos' and dot the circle 'view... etc' and then even for 'Vidéos'.

Windows Media Player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the CD.
I also got this message "Windows Media Player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the CD" pop up in an attempt to 'Copy' the CD! I have Windows 7 and had NO problem for several weeks, ripping my music from CD sales in my MUSIC folder. I got all "parameters" laid so that whenever I inserted a new CD he automatically pulled and then ejected. I had NOT brought any changes to settings but for some reason all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore?
I have trried restart, check all the parameters according to your advice making SURE that all the files of 'Target' were correct (they are), but all that happens is a few seconds after I insert a CD it gives me this message (Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD.) and then the CD will eject with NO of TEAR that occur? It's VERY frustrating! There, can anyone help? Please? I have NO idea where to check then!

My windows media player suddenly started acting weird (slow ripping time; doubling and tripling occasionally, content CD for example library). On troubleshooting, I repeatedly get two messages: 1) library is corrupted. (2) configuration settings can be setincorrectly. I get no additional guidance where to go/how to fix and I keep going round in circles with the troubleshooting packs. any ideas. I only used it for audio so far
I have tried many suggestions for an error where Windows Media Player (WMP) would not play any music or video files after a reinstall of Windows 7 online.
All the drivers have been checked for the latest driver in Device Manager after reinstallation.
Update of drivers have been installed, if necessary,
Not all files would play in WMP.
Error messages have been the library WMP files were corrupt or configuration settings can be unruly.
None of the suggestions online worked for me.
Try the following:
Right click on this web page and create a shortcut on your desktop at the top of the landing page after the reboot.
Click on: start - type "device manager".
Click: Device Manager
Click on: "audio, video and game controllers".
Click on: Driver tab

Click: uninstall

Why my Windows media player XP unable to play photo high megapixels (2 to 3 megapixels)
Hey microsoft,.
I have do deal with XP Windows media player can play the photo high megapixels (2 to 3 megapixels). But when you use Windows media player from Vista can play.
Darren,
a couple of things quickly...
first of all, make sure that the extended monitor is configured under the resolutions of your monitor and screen. Seems that the resolution is not set correctly.
Second, you can do a BING search on the type of program photo/slide show that you want to use. There are many free third-party software out there. Just be careful where get you it.

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.

Windows Media Player duplicate CD song titles in my library
I have an eMachine that manages my Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. Windows Media Player is a 2009 version 12.0.7601.17514.
It's something that happens recently. I'll open my Windows Media Player to play a CD for each song, or more, is listed twice and played it so twice. I have about 200 CD which I lived and "Removed from library only" all duplicates a couple of times already. It takes several hours and proves to be unsuccessful. It will also double any Playlist I saved. I haven't added a CD or playlist in over a month. I watched the music in libraries and visited account I had my CD listed in 2 places and removed one of them. This has not solved the problem. I ran a complete virus and malware scan complete and find nothing wrong. I find nice WMP and use Lyrics Plugin functionality often. I don't know what to do at this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
