    Just a slight correction :
    Windows Media Player is listed in All apps > under alphabet W but not under Windows Accessories.

    Not on my PC, which is a clean Windows 10 install. It is in the Windows Accessories folder as I indicated. Doing a search for "Windows Media Player" should also allow launching it.
