As for the error you're receiving when trying to play videos, error code 0x800700EA typically indicates that there is an issue with the video driver or graphics card. I would suggest checking for updates for your video driver or graphics card and installing any available updates.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

How do I stop Media Player from adding OneDrive Music to the library

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. After receiving your reply, I performed the steps as you suggested. That was two days ago. Yesterday, when I checked, OneDrive\Music was still
not in the library. Today, different story. OneDrive\Music is again included in the library and Media Player is now updating the library and producing two copies of everything to me. Not only that but since I had
the OneDrive Music folder set to not take up space on my local hard drive, Media Player has begun to download everything from the Cloud and I now have two copies of the files on my PC. That equates to 43 GB of music and artwork doubled. Kind of a waste of
space. Blocking the app has no effect. It just keeps restarting. I suspect it is because it isn't a Windows Store App.
