Windows 10: Is it possible to disallow media keys from interacting with any other app besides one?

More and more compatibility is supported by apps for media keys. While I can disable the functionality on certain apps, others don't provide me with an option to do so. I mostly use Spotify, as an example, and Discord, on the other hand, is also controlled by said media keys. It's a nuisance to try and watch something on one app while switching songs on the other.

RE: Adanced Interactive Media App

Thanks for the reply, but tried all that before posting. As stated, it appears the Advanced Interactive Media App (AIMA) is not recognizing the Laptop camera. When looking at "Camera" page, a list of apps accessing the camera appear. However, the AIMA
is not listed. When setting up the AIMA, the program asked to access the microphone, but not the camera. I could try installing and then reinstalling. Webroot is uptodate. Weird issue. I am using an HP Envy, Windows 10 OS (system purchased in Nov. 2018.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

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?
