    Windows media player will not play mp4!

    Who spends $5,000 on a computer to play .mp4s?

    In any case, I have lots of .mp4s and they play well on Windows Media Player. If you've got an .mp4 that won't play, here are two suggestions:

    1- download another copy of the file; and

    2- ask the content provider for help.

    How do I get my Win10 Media Player to play attached .mp4 files directly from emails gmail?

    Media Player failure

    Hello Fellow Forum Users, hope you can help me. My Media Player will only open and play one or more mp4 attachments to an email for a few times and then will not open any attached mp4 file. Player will still play mp4 files stored in a Folder but not any attachments. I do not want to save all attachments to a folder as most are only transient. When Win10 is re booted then Media Player operates as normal opening mp4 attachments but then fails again after a few times. I have only just installed the Win10 Version below but my Player still has the problem. I would apreciate help on resolving this issue.
    Win10 Version 2004 Build 19041.450
