    Left Shift key on my usb keyboard stops windows media player song


    Someone please help me, this is driving me insane


    Pressing left shift on my usb keyboard will stop playback on windows media player, EVEN WHEN ITS OUT OF FOCUS


    the laptop left shift does not do it, only the left shift from the usb keyboard


    how can I fix this, is there some option to disable all shortcuts for windows media player? This just started to happen randomly. Thanks in advance!

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Media Player stops and starts at random

    Hi,

    To isolate your concern, we'll need the following information:

    • Do you get an error message when it stops?
    • Is it only happening when using Windows Media Player and Groove Music?
    If yes, we suggest you to run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter and Windows Media Player Settings Troubleshooter. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click View all.
    • Click Windows Store Apps to troubleshoot Windows Store Apps and click
      Windows Media Player Settings to troubleshoot Windows Media Player.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows Media Player 12 - Sync List Empty

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    If your device's storage capacity is more than 4 gigabytes (GB), and your entire Player Library can fit on the device, Windows Media Player will automatically sync unless you choose to manually sync. If you keep the automatic sync option, you
    can either choose which files to sync or you can have the entire Player Library copied to the device.

    Every time you connect your device to your PC while Windows Media Player is running, the Player automatically updates the contents of the device to mirror the contents of the Player Library.

    However, if you are not seeing the list of songs under the Sync tab, I would suggest you to try these steps and check again:

    1. Open Windows Media Player and click the sync tab.

    2. Go to the folder where the songs are stored.

    3. Select all the songs, left click on the highlighted songs and drag it to Windows media player under “sync”

    Let us know if you get the same result.

    You can also try to directly add the songs manually by following the steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

    2. Click "This PC" on the left pane.

    3. Double click the phone and locate the folder where the songs are stored.

    Copy and paste the desired songs in this particular folder

    I also suggest you to Run the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter and check, if the issue persists.

    Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter:

    a. Press “Windows key” on your keyboard.

    b. Type Troubleshooting and click Troubleshooting under Settings.

    c. Now select Programs in the search option.

    d. Under Media Player, select Windows Media Player Settings to run the troubleshooter.

    Hope this helps. If issue persists, please reply with information for further assistance. We will be happy to help.
