Windows Media Player loading at startup in Windows 7, I don't want it to do this.

Media Player starts when I start my pc.  It does not start if I just do a restart, only the stop/start.

I saw these a response to a problem XP
1 have start-> all programs-> startup
If you see WMP, a multimedia file any in the folder, delete.
You may need to display the hidden files and folders.

No Media Player file there.

2. go into your control panel, administrative tools, Services. In the list on the left side, find Windows Media Player, hover over the Startup Type column if it says "Automatic" double click it and change it to manual.

Already the manual

3. start-> Run, type msconfig. Click on the "Startup" tab, scroll down and look for Windows Media Player, clear the check box in front of her.
How to disable startup using Msconfig items safely

Not there so nothing to uncheck.

It's irritating and I need to know how to stop it.  My other solution, of course, is to go to things of all the programs/display Microsoft and disable the thing completely.  I know how to do if I need to.

I had the same problem and found a solution.

Windows think that some audio CD exists in my empty BD player. Default action for the AudioCD's Mediaplayer. I just turned off this action and WMP not working anymore at startup.
But there is another question to Microsoft... Why empty BD drive appears as CD audio.

  • Tabs to go to the new window when I don't want what it

    When I work with pages (tabs) they suddenly in a new window when I don't want it. It only started doing this recently. Don't know if it's a upgrade, or because of a certain add-on thing.

    If you select a tab, you move the mouse? By dragging a tab opens in a new window. I don't have this problem because I use a trackball, but which can be difficult to avoid when using a mouse.

    How to eject my iphone, or player card on my macbook air?  I don't want to disconnect and lose data...

    You won't lose data when you remove an iPhone, unless you're in the middle of the backup or synchronization of the device.

    If you see no activity in iTunes/Photos/etc... Then, it is safe to unplug.

    With a card reader (SD card?) you do drag the desktop icon to the trash. It turns into an arrow when you drag an icon ejector.

    Similarly, you can click Finder on the dock, then locate the reader on the left column and click on the "arrow" to the right of the device to eject it.

  • Windows Media Player enabled at startup interferes with sound, video and other sources

    Hi, this is a known issue since I've had this laptop second hand! But always thought that one of the USB flash drives was the cause (Sandisk Cruzer Micro U3), since the mouse cursor blinks like crazy until everything is fully charged and becomes stable. It is clear now Windows Media Player peut cause this conflict for two reasons. A single, "WMP" is pre-activated on startup? (as confirmed with the Task Manager, he just goes there and "sparkles" like crazy). And two, "WMP" wants to seize all media, he can find by default automatically; I "can I" accidentally put as such (during an update of Windows that you are prompted), not sure?

    A purchased late 2009 "Pinnacle PCTV Pro HDTV USB Stick" product had never worked right? Cause the software "TVCenterPro" was unstable, and TV shows have been troubled and often froze. OEM is finally released with a great release of TVCtr Pro5x ("TVCenter6"), and it works much better! But I could only install it in trial mode until I found the CD product key.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled TVC6; but no TV (or FM radio) channels can be found in the full activation mode? And better actually worked in "trial mode; which didn't make any sense? Pursuit of the investigation, that's when I discovered "WMP" behaviour above; and forced a complete process tree removal. I did the same thing to TVC6, which cound not 'see' peripheral integrated audio from the laptop in full mode? And on reloading the program, it worked! TVC6 can now detect the device audio and pick up channel and stations by their identifiers as he did in "test" mode There's more to refine what I should do to properly operate the TVCenter6. But I need to know why "WMP" havoc on audio, video and other sources, hardware and software!

    The 'specifications' are Internet Explorer 9 (new), Vista Home Basic SP-2 and Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18311. The embedded video is ATI Radeon Express and the audio Realtek High definition, the processor is Intel Pentium Dual Core & so on.

    * The system doesn't have a virus etc and is up to date. Has anyone met a similar behavior with Windows Media Player?

    PS: I just start WMP(11x) again, and of course, the mouse cursor begins to blink like crazy immediately. The only solution is to make the highest (force the tree closed the process and prevent WMP launched with the use of the other audio video).

    It turned out that the real problem was much worse than I thought! I had to reinstall sound, video and other device drivers; Windows Management Framework Core for Vista x 86 [(bundle 32 bits: Windows Powershell 2.0, Windows Remote Management 2.0 ("WinRM"), Background Intelligent Transfer Service 4.0 ("BITS"))], etc.. And preparation tool system update to find and fix registry I didn't know were there? (42 total, only 4 keys were fixed. The other 38 were removed one by one, after finding a way to change the access permissions; not even administrator has for Vista Home Basic; for files also). Addition of a few executables of line at the command prompt (indicated in respective Microsoft etc. support messages and articles online); and what you said that I had already done all troubleshooting (failed?). After working on it for two days, the system suddenly broken to normal; and works better than ever. Windows Media Player (11 x) is working great now and is no longer remains in memory when opening and closing several times; hardware audio and video is surprisingly better; even the works of volume mixer! And that weird State "crazy cursor" that caused the blue screen error if allowed to go on long enough are gone! (even after the insertion of misc USB flash and other devices). Windows updates found nothing to "change" other than the periodic updates. I also ran the command line to stop several languages of the poll"(tout ce qu'il s'appelle?), and"Windows features"appears much faster than the overall speed and performance." All that's left is to tweak "Windows features" for optimum performance; Therefore, the problem is solved!

    Please note: I can't turn off the storage management removable and Remote Differential Compression etc to speed up Vista even more (not). TVCenter6 works fine but "hangs" in memory (at the end).

    For these questions, please go to the related post via this link: optional features of Windows cannot be enabled or disabled, hidden Windows updates cannot be uninstalled.

    Support: Please add a "Mark" button for the problems solved by the user (and when Microsoft does not provide the answer, as is the case with all other messages); so I can close the nets, I opened as 'resolved on mine'.

  • Why is-Windows Media Player slow at startup?

    When I run WMP window opens immediately, but it takes nearly 12 minutes to complete commissioning.  During most of this time, the CPU usage is 0%.  All applications starts almost instantly and WMP works fine, once it finally started upward.  The program itself is stored on a conventional disc SSD, while the music files on a hard drive and they total 871 mb.  My system is a processor i5 with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7, 64 bit.

    Why do you think it takes so long to start?

    Hi SimonRichards,

    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 2.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  • Firefox keeps blocking Java plugins, I've updated several times, but the problem persists "VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.3" update now don't workr

    I've updated the VLC media player a dozen times in the last week or two, but it continues to not work, with a message from Firefox to come saying "Web PluginVLC Web Plugin 2.1.3 vulnerable 2.1.3.0 VLC media player update now". All other plugins seem to now, Firefox said recently that many of them had recently updated and all the others worked.
    Almost all the websites that I visit comes up with a message saying that the plugin is obsolete and has been blocked and I think maybe I should just give up Firefox and use another browser.

    Yes, it would be wise to delete this program VLC.

  • Need to download the version of Dreamweaver for Windows 8.1, don't want CC version

    I lost my older version of Dreamweaver MX, the death of my PC under Windows XP.  I now have Windows 8.1 and only need a simple version of DW to download for occasional use.  I don't want to use CC with its monthly service fee.  How can I download an older version of DW which is compatible yet?  I found http://macromedia-dreamweaver.xtremedownload.com/ DW 8, but do not know if it is trustworthy.  Please help!

    Adobe sells only current versions of their products.  The only other version available through Adobe's Dreamweaver CS6 which you can purchase through the following page: Creative Suite 6

    If you want an older version, then you will have to take risks with third party suppliers potentially questionable as you have already found.  It is doubtful that anyone here will recommend third party sellers.

  • Windows 7 will not be updated without requiring a download/install of Windows 10, I don't want to.

    Whenever I try to update my Windows 7, Windows Update module only provides a button that will download/install Windows 10.  Why?

    You must remove Windows 10 of the queue by hiding the upgrade or remove the upgrade.

    Once hidden, you should be able to update Windows normally - but he might come back to haunt you again.

    Easy way:

    It is a free tool that can remove and disable notification area icon "get Windows 10' on Windows 7 and Windows 8. The latest versions can also disable the behavior "upgrade to Windows 10' in the Windows Update control panel.
