    Duplicate Music Library Sign Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft community.

    I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

    Can you check if both the folders contain all the music that you need?

    Where the original files are saved so that we can troubleshoot this issue further?

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

    Method: Restore default Libraries

    I would suggest you try the restore library option and check if it helps. Please back up all the files in the library before trying this, just to make sure you don’t lose any files. Refer these steps:

    • Open Windows explorer
    • In the left panel, locate Library and right click on it
    • Click “restore default libraries” option
    • Check if the issue persists.
    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
