Windows 10: How may I adjust the default font size in the Windows Media Player WMP? change the default...

How may I adjust the default font size in the Windows Media Player WMP? I would also like to change the default size of the 'Library view' display form, so I do not have to resize it every time WMP is initiated.

Windows Media Player is not in Default apps list in Windows 10

I know, this question was asked many times, but there is still no answer that can actually solve the problem. There are steps to get the WMP in Windows Optional Features, install it if missing, etc. - I did all that, and now WMP runs and plays media files. However, there is no way in Windows 10 to set it as a Default App to play media file types.

• Go to "Default apps" > "Music Player" > "Choose Default" - WMP is not there.
  
• "Choose default apps by file type" > ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - WMP is not there.
  
• "Set Defaults by app" > Windows Media Player is here! > select "Manage" > find ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - the only choice is "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store".
  

After a long time spent searching I found this article: How to make any program the default on Windows 10 - gHacks Tech News

Apparently after 1803 you are supposed to use hackers tools to set the Microsoft's own Windows Media Player as default. I used FileTypesMan as was suggested in the article, but when I try to change assignments for .mp3 files, I get "Error 5: Access is denied" from the tool. Also, if I right-click on an .mp3 file and select "Open with..." it still suggests me to go to Microsoft Store, open with Notepad, Paint, Word, but not Windows Media Player.

What is the proper way to make WMP the default media player, so it shows up in the Default apps list?

 

Windows Media Player is not in Default apps list

I know, this question was asked many times, but there is still no answer that can be easily found. There are steps to get the WMP in Windows Optional Features, install it if missing, etc. - I did all that, and now WMP runs and plays media files. However,
there is no way to set it as a Default App to play specific file types. Go to "Default apps":

• > "Music Player" > "Choose Default" - WMP is not there.
• > "Choose default apps by file type" > ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - WMP is not there.
• > "Set Defaults by app" > Windows Media Player is here! > select "Manage" > find ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - the only choice is "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store".

What is going on, why is Windows Media Player not in the list? Why when I type "Windows Media Player" in Windows Search it does not come up as an app and it takes me to search it on the web search?
