Windows 10: How am I a windows 11 pro N user to install windows media feature pack/media pack/legacy...

I have tried commands in admin PowerShell -- scans, dism, offline downloads, I have also tried reinstalling windows, or just installing it through any windows settings interface. Nothing has worked! : I have run the resistible download and DirectX download. I manually installed resample.dll only to find MFPlat.dll was missing too along with another myriad of .dlls. The optional features and languages x64 file I downloaded didn't include media anything. The whole windows install was fresh today on a usb drive with windows 11! I wish Microsoft didn't spite its N users.

Win10 N Will not install Media pack

I am using windows 10N Insider preview and The media pack will not install. I have tried the following:

• Media Feature Pack list for Windows N editions
• Media Feature Pack for N and KN editions of Windows 10 Version 1508 - KB3010081
• Media Feature Pack for N and KN editions of Windows 10 Version 1511 - KB3010081
• Media Feature Pack for N editions of Windows 10 Version 1607 - KB3133719
• Media Feature Pack for N edition of Windows 10 Version 1703 - KB4016817
• Media Feature Pack for N edition of Windows 10 Version 1709 - KB4039813

The only one to install was the very first one. However Media player is not installed, there are no media player folders. I can add the app.

Every other version say the update is not applicable to your system. Not sure how
that's even possible. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and nothing. No media player. Should I just assume that it does not work and will never be fixed or is there some magic that I
don't know about to get this thing working and installed correctly?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,

windows 11 media pack is missing

Hey Mike!

My name is Ravi, an independent advisor and expert user. I am happy to help you.

I understand how concerning it can be when there's no Media Feature Pack.

Windows 11 has the Media Feature Pack unless it's the N edition. Even for N editions, users can download and install the Media Feature Pack.

Could you please follow these steps?

1). Select the Start button, then select Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Optional features > Add a feature.

2). Find the Media Feature Pack in the list of available optional features.

Feel free to get in touch again if you have any additional questions.

Cheers,

Ravi
