Windows 10: Cannot enable Windows Media Player within Windows Features on W10 (Error code: 0x800F0922)

As title says, I'm trying to enable WMP so I can use GoPro's Quik video editor. Whenever I confirm it searches for the applicable files and tries to install, resulting in the 0x800F0922 error (see below). I also tried enabling through and elevated powershell to no avail. .NET framework in enabled in Windows features and I don't use a VPN so those are unlikely culprits.


Anything else I can try short of a Windows reinstall? I'm on the latest W10 service pack and have ran an sfw /scannow to see if I could quickly repair anything, I could upload the log results.

Error 0x800F0922 when enabling media player in windows 10 1607

Running Windows 10 (1607) - Media Feature is listed in the windows features - when I check to enable I get error 0x800F0922. .Net 3.5 fully enabled without errors. Need to enable Windows Media Features for some of the other applications to work. I have
already tried various things including reinstalling 1607 - does not help. Desperate to get this fixed. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

 

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
