Windows 10: Media Player don't want to keep my music into it's library

Hello there,I have a strange issue with the new Media Player v.11.2212.31.0 who replaced Groove Music.When I start it, it says that there is no music found.So, in the settings, I selected the folder where my music is. Then I have to click on "Refresh" for my music to be added on the player.The issue is now, when I exit the player and launch it again, all the music and albums will be removed after few seconds, for I dunno what reason...So I have to refresh again, via settings, if I want the music back on the player.Am I the only one with this bug/issue ??

Windows Media Player.

Hi,

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to check the ‘Windows Media Player’ settings from the steps below.

1. Open the ‘Windows Media Player’, in the player ‘Library’, click on ‘Organize’.
   
2. Select ‘Options’, this will open the ‘Options’ window for the ‘Windows Media Player’.
   
3. Click on the ‘Library’ tab, please confirm if the ‘Retrieve additional information from the Internet’ is checked, check the options ‘Rename music files using rip music settings’ and ‘Rearrange music in rip
   music folder, using rip music settings’ under ‘Automatic media information updates for files’. Click on ‘Apply’.
   
4. Click on the ‘Player’ tab and check the option ‘Connect to the Internet’. Click on apply.
   
5. Restart the ‘Windows Media Player’ and check if it works out for you.
   

Hope it helps.
