    Groove Music Deleted and Lost Files


    My Dell Inspiron 3670 needed a new motherboard. The tech came and put one in. Now I have lost almost every single music file I had downloaded and Groove Music is no longer appearing as a program on my computer.I didn't ask for the files to be associated with Groove Music thank you, Microsoft!, and now I have lost my music files--hundreds of them--because of not only Microsoft's idiocy, but also Dell's. Groove music came installed on my computer.How do I get my files back? Why would the loss of Groove Music program cause me to lose my music files except for a few associated with 4YK download

    :)

    Groove Music


    My Groove music suddenly stopped playing files when I doubleclick on them (groove music launches but is blank). I can use a different player but I have to click into that player as Groove Music is my default. I am reorganizing all of my music (tens of thousands of files) and this won't work for me.
    Any suggestions?
    I have Windows 10 on a PC.
    I found an online troubleshooting that suggesting I delete temporary files and reset Internet explorer which I did and which has not helped.
    thank you
    (I am also not super tech savy so laymen's instructions is appreciated)

    Hi Carrie,



    You can browse for music files in different locations so that you'll be able to see the music from your MP3 player in Groove Music. Just follow these steps:


    • In Groove Music, click Settings, which has the gear icon.

    • Under Music on this PC, click Choose where we look for music.

    • Click the Plus icon.

    • Browse to the location of your MP3 player, and click Add this folder to Music.

    • Click Done.



    The files on your MP3 player should show up on Groove Music after following these steps.



    Let us know if you have any other concerns with Groove Music.

    Groove Music Unable to Play Music

    We'll try a different approach, we suggest that you reinstall Groove Music and see if it has the same issue. Follow the steps below on how to remove and reinstall Groove Music:

    • Open Start menu, search for "PowerShell"
    • Right-click the PowerShell shortcut and select "Run as administrator". Agree to the UAC prompt.
    • Type/Copy paste Get-AppxPackage *zunemusic* | Remove-AppxPackage.
    • Once that Groove Music has been uninstalled, launch Windows 10 Store.
    • Type/Search for Groove Music and install.

    Looking forward to your response.
