Windows 10: Groove Music systematically crashes when right-clicking an item

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone else here encounters the same issue, but it's been a couple of weeks since Groove Music started acting weird: every single time that I right click an item, or click on the "Plus" button, the app simply crashes.

I completely formatted my computer, tried restoring my libraries and even reinstalled the apps through various Powershell procedures, made sure all the folders had my user account as an owner, etc... Nothing changed.

Groove Music feels really simple to me and I'm not willing to change my habits, so I'd like to know if anyone had a solution before I start looking for alternatives.

Cheers!

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.

 

context menu item / entry to right click song to add to current groove music playing list

I reckon the classic Windows XP app still reigns supreme. Where is the option to add song to current playing song queue /list? Did M$ really pay developers to not add a simple context menu item hook?
No way... I refuse to believe M$ got scammed...

1. Open explorer to goto Music folder
2. find song, than right click song
3. click Add to Groove Music Player list
4. keep jamming....

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)
