Windows 10: Media Player no longer adds image files to directories of ripped CDs

The title says it all. Media Player used to add the image files -- three AlbumArt... and one Folder -- to the directories folders, that is of ripped CDs, but that stopped, probably with the last Windows 10 release. I realize this is a forum for users, so announcing that this is a bug that needs to be fixed is a waste of time, but perhaps someone knows how to force Media Player to add the files to a directory.

RIP option does not come on in Windows Media Player when I load a CD. The songs are shown correctly in the listing but I am unable to rip to file. This has always worked OK before today.
