Windows 10: Media Player new version 11.2410.8.0 has stopped working properly: specified procedure...

Recently, I started experiencing some odd errors using the new Media Player app. When I try to click on an associated file I receive the following error message: "The specified procedure could not be found" Weirdly the same file will play normally if I open the file from within Media Player. And in addition, if I copy and paste a given file to the desktop, I can double click it, and it will play normally. But if I try to play a file in any of my personal folders: Videos, Pictures, etc.... I get the error message. Does anyone have an idea about what's going on? How do I fix

:)
